I am pretty new to the whole NBU
environment, pretty much got involved w/ 6.0MP4 so I missed the “fun”
of the 6.0 roll-out. What is the consensus w/ 6.5? Even thought it was just
released, what is the comfort level within the NBU environment? Do you guys
think this release will be minimal with bugs or are we to prepare for a disaster
rolling it out without waiting for MP1? I know that is a shot in the dark
question and guess a little of trying to predict the future, but I simply
trying to determine if we roll it out or hang tight for a while. Feels like
going to the Dentist, you know you have to go to get something fix, but you
know there is a possibility of pain involved…J

Netbackup 6.5 - Anyone actually using it?

6.0MP3 still a rotten release. Once users upgraded to MP3, some of
the critical bug reports rolling in got the executive’s attention and 6.0
didn’t stabilize until MP4.
You illustrate a good point. In my not-so-humble
opinion, Symantec has relied way too much on R&D in the field by their
customers. I get that where there's software, there may be bugs, but this
product was released in a broken state. Their QA really dropped the ball with
this release.
