Backup Exec Windows 2012R2 and 2012 Datacenter
Hi all,
I hope this is the correct place to put this question.
I´ve a client with Datacenter license for VM´s and few machines licensed with 2012R2 server, with this panorama can I use Backup Exec at one physical Windows Server 2012 R2 and do full or granular recovery of Windows 2012 Datacenter machines ?
Thanks for support
Backup Exec running on 2008R2 backing up Windows 2012R2 (regardless of type, Standard, Datacenter, etc..) will only be able to GRT things that Windows 2008 R2 can mount (NTFS, FAT). So If you backup up a Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory VM from Backup Exec 2008 R2 you will not be able to do an application GRT of Active Directory because Windows 2008 R2 does not understand Windows 2012 R2 AD.
However Backup Exec installed on Windows 2012R2 Standard CAN backup with Application GRT Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter or any Windows 2012 R2 flavors. It can also backup and restore prior version of Windows as well.
