What they can't do is support you during the migration itself because there are a LOT of ways it can (and will) go wrong and these breakages are typically going to be well beyond 1st or 2nd level tech support. This is a very complex migration and I don't recall seeing any postings from anybody who has completed a cross-platform migration since NBU 6.x was released (which introduced EMM). Unless you have a very strong technical ability to hack binary files and a fairly good knowledge of NetBackup internals, I would recommend that you not do this without paying for Symantec (or 3rd party) professional services. It's doable but it's HARD. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE [email protected] Linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/in/ewilts>
