We did the upgrade and have been running on BE 9 for almost a month now
I think it is great
The user interface is 10 times better there is OS X support
The Exchange 2000 jobs run faster (can't speak on 5.5)
You can perform differential exchange IS backups
It now has template for creating jobs, which is great
You can set a backup order and individual credentials, if you have a job that backs up 
8 servers you can specify the order in which the job backs the servers up and you can 
specify the credentials on a per server basis

We have been happy with the upgrade

We are currently considering an upgrade. I would love to hear some feedback
on this from those good folks out there. From what I hear it fixes a lot of
bugs and glitches. I am particularly interested in the Exchange 5.5 single
mailbox backup issues that dogged the previous versions.  We currently get
mailbox corruption being reported on our 8.0 backup exec version, which
causes the job status being flagged as failed. Though the backup works fine
and everything gets backed up, it is a pain in the backside when you see the
job fail, because this can mask other more serious backup errors. 

I am sincerely hoping this and other exchange issues have been fixed in
version 9.  I know version 8.6 addressed it but not fully. Can anyone give
me feedback on this. Any comments appreciated. Many thanks.

Has anyone out there upgraded/installed BE 9.0?  What do you think of it?
