Admins--
To clear up some confusion, I should mention that the manual says that an
upgrade from 3.51 to 5.0 is okay, but not from 3.50 to 5.0. That sounds
strange, but I don't dispute it.
Judging from the comments I received it seems that no one is particularly
gung ho about v5.0 (although there are some of you who are not all that
happy with 4.1 either). There are benefits to upgrading to v4.1 (namely in
database size and management), while the difference between 4.1 and 5.0 is
less significant. Everyone reported a relatively painless upgrade to 4.1, so
I plan to do that and stay there for a while. The main piece of advice
regarding the upgrade was to make sure I had enough drive space during the
upgrade.
Thanks again to everyone who responded, including Mike Keighley, Kevin
Davisson, Mike White, Rita Workman, Tom Myers, Mike Lavery, and others.
Cheers,
Janet

Subject: [HPADM] omniback v3.50 to data protector v 5.0
Hi all--
I am contemplating an upgrade from Omniback v3.50 to Data Protector v5.0.
Reading through the installation guide, it seems that I cannot do a direct
upgrade from 3.5 to 5.0. I have an HP-UX cell manager, mixed HP-UX and
Windows NT/2000 clients, and use the Windows GUI primarily. A few questions:
1) Is the 3.5 to 3.51 is an available/easy upgrade that I can do so that I
can upgrade directly to 5.0? The manual says to upgrade to 4.10 first. If I
do that, I might as well stay at 4.10.
2) Are there any clear benefits of upgrading all the way to v5.0 rather than
stopping at v4.10? I know 3.5 buggy, so I definitely plan on upgrading to a
point, but I don't intend to change my backup configuration much--i.e. I'm
not sure I'll be using the backup to disks features, etc. of v5.0.
3) Any other comments or gotchas are appreciated.
I will post a summary.
TIA,
Janet
