Well, it looks like our upgrade from 7.2.2 to 7.4.4 went fairly
smoothly. One thing I did learn is that when we reboot our server now,
the nsrlcpd process causes our library to do a complete reset twice
:-( This take almost an hour. Other than that, I've just got to
resolve a couple of minor issues with savegroup completion
notifications (looks like networker make have broken nsr-report) and
the like. All in all if found that with networker, patience is a
virtue and unfortunately I'm not overly virtuous today.
Thanks again for your help.
