We have been looking into upgrading as well.
NMM 2.4 is the way to go. NMSQL will no longer be supported and will not work 
with NetWorker 8.x

I found that this is a big change, so you better get familiar with NMM first. 
It will impact your filesystem backups as well.
So, first upgrade to NMM, then start thinking about upgrading NetWorker.

Subject: [Networker] NW Module for SQL compatibility question

In planning my NW 7.6.2 migration to 8.x, the Procedure generator tells me to 
upgrade storage nodes first, as 7.6.x storage nodes won't work in 8.x. 
That's fine, as the 8.0 node will work with 7.6.x server, it says, which gives 
me time to do all mine (I have 9 storage nodes).

I have 6 storage nodes that are also MS SQL clusters. On these I run the NW 
Module for SQL Server 5.2. Is that compatible with 8.x? I can't seem to tell 
... if not, what do I have to upgrade to - NW Module for MS Applications 2.4 
SP1?

If so, can I / should I upgrade the SQL module to the MS Application module 
first?

I can't seem to find an answer to these questions, or a procedure for updating 
/ migrating to a module.

Thanks
