Yes, I remember you said that. I was hoping to hear from someone actually
doing it, tho - to ensure that this statement is actually correct. :-)

Good point. This just might catch someone:
VSS backup performed with NetWorker 7.6 SP2 cannot be recovered using
NetWorker 7.6 SP3 or later
NW133490
A VSS backup that was performed using NetWorker 7.6 SP2 cannot be
recovered using
NetWorker 7.6 SP3 or later. The VSS system file recovery fails with an
error similar to the
following:
VSS BCD BOOT FILES has not been successfully recovered.
Workaround
After performing the upgrade, a Full level backup of the system must be
performed so that
the VSS system save sets can be recovered.
Note: Only the VSS system save sets cannot be recovered from the NetWorker
7.6 SP2
backup; all other data can be recovered using the normal recovery
procedure.
So as long as you don't need to do a system-level recovery after you
upgrade, but before your first backup with the new client version, you
should be good ...
