NBU 6 w NT4 and Exchange 5.5

[Tim_Wilkinson]

Hi,

Our original desgign was to have the Exchange Server (NT4, Exchange 5.5!) as a SAN media server but we'd sort of forgotten it was such an old system. Can an NT 4 box be a SAN Media server?
I imganie that it won't run the 6.0 client either (both file and Exchange). I've read somewhere that a 5.1 client should be OK for file system but will this do Exchange backups as well?

Cheers,

Timbo

The compatability guide for Netbackup 5.0 says that NT4 SP6 is supported as a server and as a client but there is also this note:
98. Next major release following NetBackup 5.0 will not support this OS version.

I do not know about the exchange agent.BS
