Will NetBackup client 7.6.0.3 work with Enterprise Vault 8.0.5.1048
Hello,
We have recently upgraded our master and media servers to Netbackup 7.6.0.3. We are runing Enterprise Vault 8.0.5.1048 and would like to upgrade the netbackup client software on our Enterprise Vault servers from 7.5.0.6 to 7.6.0.3. I have checked the software compatibilty guide and I think it mentions that 7.6 supports EV version 7.5, 8.0, 9.0 10.0 however there is note at the bottom mentioning "1. NetBackup 7.6 and later does not support this Backup or Archiving Product.". This has put me in doubt as I need to be sure of the compatibilty before upgrading.
Does anyone know if NBU 7.6.0.3 will support EV 8.0.5.1048.
Thanks
