Veritas announces EOL of NetBackup clients on HP-UX

Support for NetBackup clients running on HP-UX has reached end-of-life (EOL). Veritas will no longer deliver NetBackup client software for the HP-UX platform. NetBackup 10.0.0.1 will be the last release that provides HP-UX client support.

If you want the benefits of newer NetBackup clients, you must migrate HP-UX clients to another supported client operating system platform. NetBackup 10.0.0.1 HP-UX clients maintain compatibility with newer NetBackup server versions. (See the "Compatibility between NetBackup versions" section of the Software Compatibility list.)

Veritas will continue to provide support for HP-UX clients in accordance with the published Veritas Product End of Life policy guidelines.
