GRT-Enabled Backups on GPT-Partitioned VMware-VMDKs
Hi,
I just run into the Issue, that GRT-Enabled Backups via AVVI on GPT-Partitioned VMDKs in VMware fail with an exception and are not supported as stated in the SCL.
Does anyone know the ...
If you check the BE 15 readme document http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC8201
You will find that in the section called "What's new in Backup Exec 15 agents and options" we clearly state that we now support "File/folder-level GRT and application-level GRT backups and restores of virtual machines that have GPT partitioned disks"
As such GPT should allow GRT capability for both applications and file systems.
Any customers having issues with GPT disks during VMware backups needs to log a support case, and if for some reason they are advised of lack of support quote the readme provided above.
