Are you going to Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2008? If you are going to Windows 2008 R2 you need to upgrade to 6.5.5 (for compatibility reasons). My upgrade path would look something like: 1. Run consistency check per NBU 7.0 Upgrade instructions. http://support.veritas.com/docs/340464 2. Create

This occurred to me on the way to work. Does the NB client for windows reset all the archive bits on files after the backup's completion? That's the only thing that makes sense as I see it. If it reset the bit after each file, then a last-minute failure of the backup would not let the
