I know this may be a stupid question but I have to backup a new server temporarily until it can be moved to it's new location. We run Netbackup on Solaris and the facitility this server will end up at a month from now runs BackupExec. I thought it'd ...

I recently upgraded both NBU and our hardware. We went from Solaris 10/SPARC using an old Overland Powerloader to a new Sun x4200 AMD Opteron box running Solaris 10. We were on 6.0 MP4 on the SPARC server. I upgraded to 6.5.3 on the existing server t...

Update -- Everything worked fine on the 6.02 firmware. For testing Symantec wanted to update the firmware to the latest version (6.0.4) again and retest. I did and everything still works fine. At this point all we can tell is rebooting the server and...

Update -- I was able to downgrade the NEO 4000 from firmware version 6.04 to 6.02 and everything ran fine. At this point I Symantec wants to figure out if the robot simply needed reset or if the firmware fixed the problem. We didn't try power cycling...

Martin, Thanks for your feedback. I checked with Overland and I can only revert to one level back because of the LT04 drives. Not sure if this will make a difference. We'll see what happens. Will post with the results.
