NetBackup on Windows
TimBurlowski | 30 Jul 2008 | 0 comments

I have lots of friends in IT. When they ask what I am working on and I tell them about NetBackup, I sometimes get a response like “isn’t that for UNIX?” Seriously, I think we have been supporting Windows as a master server since Windows NT 3.5.1, an OS some of the kids have never even seen.

 

So is NetBackup a Windows solution?

I’ve worded this in the form of "Questions & Answers" for clarity.

Q. What is 6.5.2a and what is in it?
