Solaris 8 is supported in 3.2 with the correct patch level (I can't
remember which one). You have to run an included script though to add it
in, I think its /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client. It really just
creates sym links to the 2.6 client though.

I only saw that problem of filesystems being constantly backed up over
and over with the 3.4 patch that got recalled.
