    Older threads found say no VM agent for KVM.  Have to install NetBackup client software.

Hi, appu1985

For NetBackup 7.6, it only supports the backup for virtual machines for VMware/Hyper-V.

As Will stated, You can install nbu client software on the guest virtual machine to backup data on them, it can't backup the whole guest virutal machine for KVM.

thanks
