Hi,
I have a Windows 2003 server R2, SP2 with Exchange 2003, and i have NetBackup Appliance 5220 version 2.5 with NBU 7.5.0.5 i am taking backup of this exchange machine. Now i have some windows 2012 servers as well and i need to upgrade my NetBackup applaince 2.5 verrsion to 2.5.2 with NBU 7.5.0.6. My Question is this upgraded version of NBU can take a backup of Exchange 2003 or not???.
Kindly Reply asap.
Thanks in advance.

first 2.5.2 is not 7.5.0.6 but 7.5.0.5.
You can install the 7.5.0.6 client at all 2012 systems you have and leave your installation at 7.5.0.5.
That way you will continue to have exchange 2003 compatibility with netbackup until you upgrade exchange to a supported version.

Beginning with NetBackup 7.1 and the NetBackup Appliances, you can apply a maintenance update (triple-dot release) to just a media server or client server within an environment where your master server is at a matching major, minor and release update level.
