Backup Exec Catalogs into NetBackup 7.6.1

Abhijit_Srivast
Level 4

I am through with the BackupExec Catalog Import into NetBackup 7.6.1. I was advised that my current NBU773 will not support the same hence I had to build an environment. Plan is to import all the Backup Exec into this Environment and then upgrade to 8.X.

PS: I am not aware of the Backup Exec Version when this Backup was taken

Phase 1 import has been completed sucessfully but Phase 2 fails with the below error:

Knowing the BE version is crucial. 

Just as NBU versions after 7.6 cannot import BE, no BE versions after version 12 can be imported. Not even 12.5. 

See https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100000926

BE 12.x was already EOSS in 2012 and BE versions 2010 and 2012 were commonly used after that.
