  • All NetBackup nodes must be running the same operating system and NetBackup version.

  • NetBackup clustering does not support multiple master servers in a single cluster.

  • NetBackup Server clustering is supported only on Windows and not on UNIX and Linux platforms.

  • NetBackup Enterprise Server clustering is supported on Windows as well as Linux platforms.

  • NetBackup Enterprise Server is supported with all cluster solutions
