Backups may fail for cloud storage configurations with the cloud compression option

The NetBackup cloud data compression option requires all cloud media servers that are associated with the cloud storage configuration to be NetBackup 7.7.3 or later version.

Cloud backups may fail in the following cloud compression scenario:

You have configured cloud storage server using the NetBackup Administration Console or the command-line interface with the compression option enabled, with a media server that is compatible. You then add a media server of a version that is older than NetBackup 7.7.3 using the command-line interface, to the same cloud configuration.

To avoid such cloud backup failures, ensure that all media servers that you add to the cloud storage configuration with the compression option to be NetBackup 7.7.3 or later version.
