Ok its just that the Nt clients run 3.4 still - they cannot be upgraded to
the latest IE version as some applications don't function with the latest
IE!
So effectively, until Nt has gone... We will remain on 5.1 - Because im sure
that (as you said) 6.0 will not work on clients under 5.1 or lower (3.4, 4.5
ect)

Simon,
Your answer is Yes and No.
Yes: 6.0 can backup up NT4 if it has a 5.1 client on it.
No: 6.0 has no NT4 client
I still have 3 NT4.0 machines I backup every night with NBU 6.0 MP4. The
client on them is 5.1.

Am I right in thinking 6.0 or higher does no longer support NT 4 ?

We still have a fairly busy 4.5 environment due to older OS versions
so I can't see us moving off our 5.1 environment for a while ... this for us
is the "show-stopper" for not upgrading.

I don't believe that customers are being placed between
a rock and a hard place - 6.0 MP4 is a stable release that works today. I
have not heard of any show-stopper bugs in 6.0 that would prevent anybody
from upgrading. You may need an engineering fix or two, and perhaps MP5
will include those, but in general, the current release works for just about
everybody.
If you really feel that 5.1MP4 is rock solid, and there
are no issues, why are you concerned with Symantec continuing to support it?
You don't *have* to upgrade - just don't log a call and expect it to get
fixed. If you have no issues, you'll have no calls to log and it won't
matter if it's supported or not. I've got a non-Symantec product running
that we last logged a call on in 2000 (and our license agreement says that
we have to keep it under support as long as we're running it).

I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product
I've run (less DSSU issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and not
be forced between choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA
I would suggest for those in the group who are also
wanting to wait for 6.5 MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Symantec SE/Account
Mgr's and let them know as a customer you're being placed between a rock and
a hard place in terms of migration choices.
In talking with my former RTAM and current local
Symantec SE, I'm starting to hear they maybe considering the Oct 2007 date
as a "soft" and not a hard date.
Now maybe the time to put our voices behind this and
tell them Oct 2007 end of support for 5.1 is unacceptable.
