Where To See exact Netbackup version.

[Omkar_P]

Hello All,

I have installed NBU 7.5 on server. However on SORT the latest available NBUversion is 7.5.0.5. Where can I see the same version on my server setup?

I saw registry and NBUadmin console but I am only able to see just 7.5 and not whole string. Please provice me a henp>

Thnaks,

In the directory

<install path>\veritas\netbackup

There should be a file called version

THis contains the version of NBU installed

Does the VERSION your registry key @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veritas\NetBackup\CurrentVersion also contain the same as above?

Agree with Martin - your installation seems to be unpatched.

This is what my version file looks like:

HARDWARE Windows x64

VERSION NetBackup 7.5.0.4

OK. Thank you everybody. I got the problem. I will install the required patch.

[Jean-Pierre_Bai]

VERSION NetBackup 7.5 means, 7.5 with no patches.

[Nicolai]

You can also run nbemmcmd command:

[root@ural ~]# nbemmcmd

NBEMMCMD, Version: 7.5.0.4

{shortned for clarification }

[ontherocks]

cat /usr/openv/netbackup/version

[NathanNieman]

Or Open netbacup admin console click on help then about Symantec netbackup.

Version is listed there.

And finally, there's one more version (or version.txt) file which can be found in the ...\NetBackup\bin folder as well.
