you will need a minimum of 6.5.2 (altho' I would be more inclined to go for 6.5.4 as a minimum - but that obviously depends on your current master version).

Thank you for your reply Andy. I'm running Netbackup Master and Media server version 6.5.4.

Ok... Will close this case and open a new with the error. THANX
