9.0.1 and VBA and DDOS upgrade dependency
Dear Experts!
Our customer has an old and a New networker environment.
Old environment is required to restore old data so look like:
Old NW:
- NW 9.0.1, VBA 1.5.7
- DD160, DDOS: 5.7
New NW:
- NW 9.2, Nwproxy
- DD2500, DDOS: 5.7
The problem is, that old environment (VBA has two mtree-s) on both DD: avamar- on DD160 and on DD2500.
The old backups are cloned to tape.We plan to upgrade DD2500 DDOS 5.7->6.2.
The old VBA enviroment doesnt support DDOS 6.2, however one avamar mtree still on DD2500.
Question:
- What store the VBA on avamar- mtree?
- Can we recover old backups after the DDOS upgrade on Old NW server?
We have one mtree is available on DD160 and on mtree is unavailable on DD2500? (DDOS: 6.2 not compatible with 9.0.1 and VBA)
- How can we move the old DD2500 mtree from the avamar configuration?
Thanks in advance!

The restore of VM images off a VBA storage or off the DD. Once you upgrade the DD to 6.2 you might not be able to make the integrate it with the VBA. If there is no other way other than to upgrade your DD's, I would suggest deploy a DDVE in your environment with the OS version 5.7(not sure if it is still available though, please check with support) and replicate all the VBA related data to the DDVE, you can then hold on to the data as long as it expires and then retire the DDVE to reclaim the resources.
