Netbackup 7.6

[T_N]

Hi All,

I hear Symantec already released NBU 7.6 beta, anyone know where can I get document about it? My current version is 7.1.0.4, we have plan to upgrade to 7.6 to end of this year. Thanks.

it looks like if I upgrade to 7.6 Beta but can not upgrade from 7.6 beta to 7.6 GA. Could I upgrade directly from 7.1.0.4 to 7.6 ?  or should upgrade 7.1.0.4 to 7.5 then go to 7.6 ? Thanks.

No public announcement so far.

But as 7.1 and 7.6 is in same major version, i believe it will br possible to upgrade 7.1 to 7.6 directly.

Approach with extreme caution!

I am sure there will be upgrade path from 7.1 to 7.6 GA but I guess it would be better to first upgrade to 7.5 and run the consistency check on database before jumping to 7.6 GA. Upgrade from Beta to GA is not supported.
