You know, you could run the upgrade advisor that is online or
come with a CD :-)
What I would make sure is, your hardware is Future Proof and
will run wk8 and NBU 7.0
As I said, I have noticed some slowdown, but I plan to move
off to faster hardware (64bit native) soon.
I was checking the Microsoft
site for upgrading tips and it said to uninstall all non-native Microsoft
applications. Were you able to upgrade the OS without removing the NBU
software?

Hi
James
Yes done
this, in different ways
Key
thing is, that you have a DR plan in place should something go
wrong.
In my
view, upgrade to NBU 7.0
Before
going to Win2k8, get a GOOD Backup of the System (as it is) and a Catalog Backup
of your "current working" environment :-)
Upgrade
to Win2k8 - You should find that NBU would not have changed.
Can
confirm the policies have not changed or amended in my environment.
I would
suggest going to 7.0.1 or if possible, 7.1 now. That is the only
suggestion.
Should
things go completely wrong, at least you can "roll back".

NBU upgrades
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with upgrading
from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 and NBU 6.5 to 7.0? Currently my backup
server is running the older versions of both. I have the software to
upgrade both of them. Is there a preferred sequence: upgrade NBU then the
OS or upgrade the OS first and then NBU? When upgrading NBU, will it
preserve the settings and policies already created?
