No clue. When I started here 5 years ago we were running 5.1 in production. I've handled the 6.0, 6.5, and soon 7.0 upgrades. I setup the "legacy" 5.1 master to pick up a bunch of orphaned clients from a dead 4.5 master another group managed. Occasionally while cleaning out an old storage closet, I will run into NetBackup boxed software for the 3 and 4 versions. I haven't seen anything older than that, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did. The situation is certainly not best practice, but I don't get to decide what gets upgraded and what languishes for 20+ years.
