    I logged a call the other day and was told:

    "Support for Windows 2012 client will be added in NetBackup 7.5.0.6 as well as NetBackup 7.6.  The 7.5.0.6 release is expected in early Q2 of 2013 but, unlike the 7.6 release, will not support optimized backup and restore of NTFS data deduplication."

    There is also a base client support kit available for v7.1.0.4 if you can't wait with some significant caveats associated with it.
