Netbackup 7.5 on Win 2K3 32 bit servers

[mudabo]

I am about to install Netbackup 7.5. on my Win 2K3 SP2 32 bit master server.   The patch requirements do not mention Win 2k3, only Win 2008.    I am aware that Win 2K3 EOL is within the next month, so there is a project scheduled to refresh the server.   Does tis mean that I have to wait until the server is refreshed to 2008 before i can upgrade Netbackup ?

W2003 32-bit is still supported with NBU 7.5. 

See the OS SCL: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76648 

You can install and use NBU 7.5 on W2003.

When you have the W2008 server, you can use this doc to use Catalog backup to migrate to new server:

I just had another look at the OS SCL: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76648

Look under NetBackup Administration Consoles:
W2003 32-bit is still supported on NBU 7.5.
Just not supported as from 7.6.

See attached screenshot.

Footnote [1] says: 
1. NetBackup 7.6 and later does not support this console on this platform.
