Upgrading from 4.5fp6 to 5.0 was fine - no issues. adding MP1 was fine, no
issues.

Issues are the gui displays rubbish instead of data about your backup
jobs, also one site with master + 2 media completely hangs - hundreds of
jobs in queue all apparently running fine, come back a day later, still
looks the same, and requires a complete cold restart to fix. strange
problems seen updating policy information ( where it doesn't), also many
many bugs in MP1 which seem to have been introduced.

Overall, my concern is that there has been some re-writing of the product
which has actually made it less reliable.

I hear thatn MP2 will be out shortly, again, not a great sign.
