Data Replication

Hi all,

Asking for your thoughts again regarding on my plan about Data Replication (AIR).

It is possible to Replicate my Data from my HQ which version of NBU is 8.1 to my DR which version of NBU is 8.1.2?

Is the .2 in 8.1.2 is only a patch? or a major version upgrade?

Thank you and best regards!

8.1.2
windows server 2012

    Replication to a higher version is never a problem.

    See this section of the Dedupe Guide about AIR between different versions:

    The ability to perform Auto Image Replication between different versions of NetBackup does not overrule the basic image compatibility rules. For example, a database backup that was taken in one NetBackup domain can be replicated to a NetBackup domain of an earlier version. However, the older server may not be able to successfully restore from the newer image.
