sp3 - Is it just a repackaging of SP2 & hotfixes?

AFAIK, there is no SP3. The latest service pack is SP2, dated 5/26/2005

Where did you see/hear that a new SP was available?

VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 9.1 for Windows Servers revision 4691 - Service Pack 3

I have already read the supplementary materials, and I can see that hotfix 52 is included. I was wondering if there was anything new besides the inclusion of the hotfixes that were released since sp2.

The SP3 TechNote was posted 5 Aug 05, but still doesn't show up on the software updates page.

So the only way anyone would know about it is if they payed for a Support Call and were told about it, or if they browse the forum every day?

After installing sp3, I still have product updates appearing at http://softwareupdate.veritas.com/. Does the service pack not include these hotfixes dated prior to the sp release?

Hello,
The SP 3 Includes most of the Hotfixes released after the SP 2. It does not include anything other than the previous Hotfixes. But it may Exclude some of the Hotfixes released after SP 2

Hope that answers your Querry.

Thanks.

Does SP3 include the changes in SP1 & SP2? Or do they need to be installed as well?

Yeah...

the update page seems buggy...

for me it lists available updates as::

- 9.1.4691 Hotfix 51 even if SP3 ETrack: 371036 says it's fixed.
- 9.1.4691 Hotfix 47 even if SP3 ETrack: 73477, 212882, 261652, 289521, 309163 says it's fixed.
- 9.1.4691 SP2 and I have SP3 installed (had SP2 before)
- 9.1.4691 Hotfix 50 even if SP3 ETrack: 333377 says it's fixed.

So all patches seems to be in SP3

Can you please fix the updates page...

I am posting this question again, because I do not think Veritas looks at it again unless a reply is received from the original author of the thread.
