Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows 2008 Client

We have done a lot of testing on Windows 2008 and found that yes even a
5.1 MP6 client will backup the server but will not restore anything.  

You need the 6.5.2 client on the Windows 2008 server however your
media/master servers can run on a downrev version, we only run 6.5.1 on
our media and master servers as well as the 6.5.1 client on our
2003/linux/solaris servers.

Personally I would be leaving 2008 on the shelf at the moment it needs a
service pack or two!!!!

Backups directed to /dev/null would be incredibly fast and just as
useful.  :-)

That doesn't sound very useful :-)

It sounds to me like even if you did testing and it appeared to work, do
you really, really want your production servers to have an unsupported
backup configuration?
   
It also sounds like if you only want to back on non-OS files, you'll be
okay.  You just need to have another plan if you wipe out the system
disk.
