Re: [Veritas-bu] Can NBU 6.5 database be imported into NBU 7 / Upgrade with fresh O/S & NBU install steps

I guess this is the best way for doing this (maybe the only way)
I had problems in the past while trying to recover a 6.5.3 catalog into
a 6.5.4 master server. There were some schema changes in the nbu
database in 6.5.4 and I had to rollback to 6.5.3.1, do the catalog
recover and then upgrade to 6.5.4
