About compatibility between NetBackup versions
You can run mixed versions of NetBackup between primary servers, media servers, and clients. This back-level support lets you upgrade NetBackup one server at a time, which minimizes the effect on overall system performance.
NetBackup supports only certain combinations of servers and clients. In mixed version environments, certain computers must be the highest version. Specifically, the version order is: NetBackup Snapshot Manager computer, primary server, media server, and then clients. For example, the scenario that is shown is supported: 11.0 NetBackup Snapshot Manager > 10.2 primary server > 10.0 media server > 9.1.0.1 client.
All NetBackup versions are four digits long. The NetBackup 11.0 release is the 11.0.0.0 release. Likewise, the NetBackup 10.2 release is the NetBackup 10.2.0.0 release. For the purposes of supportability, the fourth digit is ignored. A 10.2 primary server supports a 10.2.0.1 media server. An example of what is not supported is a 10.2.0.1 primary server with a 11.0 media server.
The NetBackup catalog resides on the primary server. Therefore, the primary server is considered to be the client for a catalog backup. If your NetBackup configuration includes a media server, it must use the same NetBackup version as the primary server to perform a catalog backup.
