Netbackup client Debian removal

Hello there!

So I'm upgrading NetBackup client, by removing the existing one, and install the new version.

For my RedHat systems I follow this documentation:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/27801100-127350444-0/v121344818-127350444

I guess for Debian, there are no packages that I need to remove(I don't see them on the system anyway).

So my question is, is there any additional steps that I should take on the Debian systems, or I just follow the documentation?

      Thanks for the quick answer!

      As I can see in the documentation that you provided, there are some steps that needed to be take from the master\media server, but I don't have the privilidge over those systems.

      Also I was advised to uninstall and install, thats why I am doing it so.

        Hi oropher88 

        I agree with X2

        You should team up with the Netbackup admin to use the automated tool for upgrading the clients.  Veritas made the tool for a reason :)

        Start by asking for a non-admin access that will allow you to update the clients using update_clients script or vxupdate  - a netbackup admin don't like to provide the keys for the vault (just like a banker doesn't do).

        Just my 2 cent.

        Best Regards
