This is a MAINTENANCE Release for NetBackup (as opposed to a Release Update) - it can ONLY be applied on top of NetBackup 7.6.1 or 7.6.1.1. (If you are currently running 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.1.0.x, 7.5, 7.5.0.x OR 7.6.0.x, you will need to upgrade to 7.6.1 GA before you can apply 7.6.1.2.)

This is a CUMULATIVE release - it contains all 7.6.1.1 fixes and will do not need to apply 7.6.1.1 if you intend to apply 7.6.1.2.

hi,

i noticed it particularly listed "Exchange 2013 cu7" up there. we are about to move to cu9, will this 7.6.1.2 be a problem or we should only patch Exchange up to cu7?

[Marianne]

It means that if Exchange 2013 is at cu7 level, then NBU 7.6.1.2 is needed to support the Exch version. Not the other way round.

Hi All,

Can we install 7.6.1.1 client version on new machine directly or we have to install base binary first and then apply 7.6.1.1. Also , How to upgrade to 7.6.1.2 from 7.6.1.1. Please advise.

Thanks,

Frank
