Netbackup Catalog

Does anyone know if you can restore a Netbackup Catalog 6.5 to a new server with 6.0. Server crashed and need to rebuild but only have the 6.0 installation disk. Can't find 6.5 media anywhere. Thank you for your help

  • No you cannot.

    Basic requirements for a catalog recovery are
    1. same nbu version
    2.same host name
    3. same installation path

    Btw y are u still in the stone age.. I mean 6.x nbu has been out of support since almost a decade ago..

    So now the only way out maybe to either find 6.5 binaries from somewhere or install a new version and manually import all your data back in NetBackup from the storage
  • It seems that I have 6.5.x distros too (next to my Amenhotep IV mummy :) ) but it's better to contact your local Veritas Reseller.
