Combining NetBackup_8.2_CLIENTS1.tar.gz and CLIENTS2.tar.gz

What am I supposed to do with these files ? NetBackup_8.2_CLIENTS1.tar.gz NetBackup_8.2_CLIENTS2.tar.gz I forgot the command.

    There is no separate software for Windows clients - it's the same software as for Windows servers. 

    You may want to read up on 'vxupdate' utility (see the 8.2 Upgrade Guide for details).

Those files are for Linux and Unix - and you would use "gunzip" to unpack them - i.e. you would not combine them  - e.g. CLIENTS1 and CLIENTS2 each contain installers for different OS flavours/families - e.g. RedHat and relatives are in one of them, and Solaris is in one of them.

Anyway...

You flagged Windows - so you need the Windows installer - and I believe that the client and server kits are now contained within the same installer (setup.exe / MSI) and so you now choose which you want to install at execution time.
