Support for windows server 2003?

[gkman]

Hello, 

I couldn't find any references to installing netbackup (I am only interested in client software ) on windows server 2003 at: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000033647 .currently I have netbackup 7.5 clients installed on my 2003 servers, and I wish to upgrade them to 7.7.2.

does 7.7.2 client software support windows server 2003?

my netbackup environment is all updated already to 7.7.2. can this be a problem?

thanks for the help.

Hello,

there are hundreds of posts here containing links to compatibility matrixes.

Here: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000040842

page 27.

So, for example, last supporting NBU client for Windows 2003 R2 is 7.6.0.x.

Yes you can use 7.0 and higher clients with 7.7 Master/Media Servers (google: NetBackup, Release Notes 7.7)

Correction, last supporting client for 2003R2 is 7.6.1.2.

NBU no longer supports W2003 because of Microsoft no longer supporting this OS. See https://sort.veritas.com/nbufutureplans
