I'm very pleased to announce that a new Maintenance Release for NetBackup 7.1 is now available!
NetBackup 7.1.0.4 is fourth and final maintenance release for NetBackup 7.1. It is a cumulative release - which means it includes all previous fixes from the 7.1.0.1, 7.1.0.2 and 7.1.0.3 maintenance releases. In addition, this release contains fixes to overall 250 issues including most commonly downloaded EEBs, several customer escalations and internal engineering defects.
The significant contents of this release are:
This release has undergone thorough quality checks. Close to 1500 functional tests and 600 system tests were executed before making it Generally Available. This was a truly global effort where teams from US, India and China were involved in making of this release.
To download 7.1.0.4, please visit the following page:

This is a MAINTENANCE Release (as opposed to a Release Update) - it can ONLY be applied on top of NetBackup 7.1. (If you are running 7.0 or 7.0.1, you will need to upgrade to 7.1 before you can apply 7.1.0.4.)
Please note that maintenance releases are CUMULATIVE - that means that 7.1.0.4 contains all product fixes included in 7.1.0.1, 7.1.0.2, 7.1.0.3 AND 7.1.0.4. If you are currently running NetBackup 7.1, you may apply the 7.1.0.4 maintenanace release without installing 7.1.0.1, 7.1.0.2 or 7.1.0.3. In fact, if you are still running NetBackup 7.1, we would HIGHLY encourage applying 7.1.0.4!
To check to see if your particular Etrack is resolved in NetBackup 7.1.0.4, please refer to these Release Notes:

As mentioned above, with the NetBackup 7.5 release now available, it is expected that this will be the final maintenance release for NetBackup 7.1.
