Thanks
Appreciate this. I know its not supported, but why pay
thousands on Premium Support if your not following the recommended
practice.
For now, its back to "how it should be", and will deal with
the master at the Weekend :-)
S.
They told him that because it works.
We've done this for years but only when necessary and only on file level
backups. We do not support using this method to backup a database, exchange or
even system state because we can't rely on a restore due to issues with possible
feature enhancements in the client that aren't any where else. The file level
restores have always worked fine, though you are on your own since it's not
officially supported.
If Symantec is
listening, I would like for them to support higher client rev's on a down rev
master. It really is a pain to upgrade many sites to support a new feature. Some
of their competitors support this.

Concern I have is that can you really rely on it. There may be
enhancements to the product that the Master knows little about. If you have support with Symantec, and best
practice is to follow what I have been doing 10+ years, should that be the best
course of action? Of course, That's not to say running 5.1 on 7.0.1 clients is
supported, because its not and I appreciate that, and would not expect
support.

this out all on our own, without Symantec's blessing.
They came
a little late with their 2008 R2 support, so they let this go on for CYA.
We were doing this before we went to 7.0.1.
When you
are caught in the dilemma of getting backups or being supported, well, I choose
the former.

All
From my History of working with
NBU, any upgrades I have done have been in this order: Master Media Servers SAN
Media Clients
So ... why would Symantec be telling a
colleage that "its ok to oto 6.5.6 on a client and leave Master at 6.5.4"
? Client OS is Wink28 R2 SP1 which cant be backed up correctly 6.5.4
but runs fine and supported under 6.5.6 and 7.0.1 S.
