    The much awaited Service Packs to add support to Windows Server 2012 (Remote Agent only) and VMWare 5.1 are released.

    Backup Exec 2010 R3 and BE 2012 both support Server 2012 for backups as a Agent after installing the Beta service pack. However, Server 2012 is still unsupported as Media Server.

    ...not as a media server. You can only install RAWS, as per Jaydeep. Support for Win2K12 as a media server will come later.

    Thanks!
