DDOS AND OST compatibility with NBU

Hi all,

I am checking what version of the OST plugin and DDOS are required for running NetBackup 7.7.3 on Windows Server 2012 R2. I am hoping to confirm the following points –

Are you able to confirm whether a maximum version of DDOS 5.6 (as listed below) would include any 5.6.x version such as 5.6.2.0?

NBU 7.7.x
windows server 2012

    DD OS compatibility based on Family, the 5.6 is a family where could be Patch, Maintenance and Target releases. Specific versions where a functionality not known to previous patches appeared may be called out specifically, otherwise DD Boost libraries are qualified against DD OS family not a specific patch, unless explicitly stated in the table. A case in point would be the new DD OS 6.2 which is not yet qualified for your use case, etc.

    Also this topic has little to do with NBU, if it is an important question, a quick SR with Dell EMC would have more authority for decisions than someone's random words about, strictly speaking, competitve products.

      Thank you. I have already got this table. All I want to know is, for the Maximum DDOS version mentioned as 5.6, does it mean all the 5.6.x as well?
