Good point, however I suspect it would work. My testing with 2008 and 2008 R2 shows the OS are similar, with the exception of system state backups (new API by Microsoft required in R2). If he was going to R2 I suppose you could build a 3rd 2008 server, restore to that and then repeat to get to R2. I guess it depends on how much testing you are willing to commit to make the solution happen.
Good luck! -Jonathan From: Ed Wilts [mailto:ewi...@ewilts.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 10:28 AM To: Martin, Jonathan Cc: Glen Vassileff; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Can NBU 6.5 database be imported into NBU 7 / Upgrade with fresh O/S & NBU install steps On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 8:20 AM, Martin, Jonathan < jmart...@intersil.com> wrote: 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). Almost but not quite. 6.5.5 does NOT support Windows 2008 R2 as a SERVER - only as a CLIENT. If you want to run a Windows 2008 R2 master server or media server, you need to be running NetBackup 7.0. Furthermore, the Windows 2008 servers must be running on x64, not x86 or ia64. The OS compatibility lists are your friends. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/NBUESVR_digest.htm .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE ewi...@ewilts.org Linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/in/ewilts>
