Very old Linux OS on Avamar 7

Hi,

We are upgrading from Avamar 6 to 7.3

He have still few very old systems like RedHat 4. I know they were already unsupported on Avamar 6. but it works

Is there any chance that the 7.3 client could still work on the old RHEL 4 systems ? until we completely delete those machines...

Thanks

It's certainly not supported but "not supported" doesn't necessarily mean "doesn't work". You say "until we completely delete those machines" - are they VMs? If so, VMware Image backups might be an option for you until you can decommission these systems.

Hi,

We were in similar situation some time backup.

Image backup runs fine as it does not check for VM OS version.

For physcal servers, we did physical to virtual server conversion and added to them as image backup.
