Upgrading to Netbackup v9.x

Hello We are currently running netbackup 8.2 one master/media in a redhat linux environment.  We are looking to upgrade and I was wondering what version of 9 should we upgrade to. Any recommendation...

    Hi bc1410 

    IMHO, I'd go to the highest version you can. 

    There should be nothing stopping you from upgrading to 9.1.0.1 - the only things to be conscious of is supportablity issues with any older clients you have and the RHEL OS version of your current. Sort is your friend here - https://sort.veritas.com to check these various compatibilities and also the compatibility lists found here https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000033647 

    But based on your current version I wouldn't expect anything preventing you upgrading to 9.1.x

    Cheers
    David

    Thanks David for your input -  

    most of our clients (windows,linux, MS SQL) are at version 8.2 except maybe a few still on 8.1.1

      Go for 9.1.0.1! 

      Windows 2008 clients won't be able to get up to that, but you can still connect and backup 8.x clients.
