I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
Liebe Mitglieder der User Group,
das SORT Portal ist seit gestern mit den Inhalten für NetBackup 7.6 aktualisiert, d.h. die aktuellen Upgrade Checklisten können erstellt werden und man kann die verschiedenen Abhängigkeiten aus den Compatibiltätslisten in einer zentralen Stelle prüfen.
