NetBackup backwards compatibility

[dtrostli]

Hello All,

Does anyone know if NetBackup media server version 6.5.6 is compatible with master server 7.1.0.4?

Kind Regards,

David

Above-mentioned TECH29677 shows that 6.5 media server is indeed supported with 7.x master server.

It also contains this warning:

Note: Support for the Netbackup 6.x product line is scheduled to end October 2012.

Hello Marianne,

I might open a case with tech support. I think 6.5.6 is indeed supported because it is a release update of minor release. It does not make sense to me.

Regards,

David

No need to log support call.

6.5 also means 6.x.
