We have inherited an HP/UX server and we are trying to convert it to use LAN
Free backups.
We have used agent 5.4.2.7 and it work fine, but when we install the storage
agent 5.4.2.0 it says 11.11 is not supported. 5.4.2.7 is (was) supported on
HP/UX 11.11.
The support matrix says it is
1 - 100 of 346 matches
