How to backup the master server ?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi, I'm in the middle of deploying a replacement NetBackup 7.0 server hosted on Windows 2008 64-bit. On our previous NetBackup 6.5.6 master server we were able to install a NetBackup client and backup the master server itself. Now that any attempt to install the NBU client returns error message 'the netbackup client installation is not supported on 64-bit systems that have a netbackup server package installed' what is considered to be best practice to backup the master server ?
Thanks for any input anyone can offer.

Handy NBU links
The master server is also a client
You don't need an additional client license to backup the master server.
