Netbackup 7.5.0.7 for WIndows 2012 x64

I meant to write 'WIndows Server 2012;

For NetBackup Servers (Media/Master/etc.), support for WIndows Server 2012 starts with 7.6, so you can't use 7.5.0.7 on a NetBackup server.

For clients, though, 7.5.0.7 is supported.  The http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH209032 link indicates it is for both NBU servers and clients.  However, I would ASSUME you need to install the 7.5.0.6 client FIRST from http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH204661, as 7.5.0.7 requires a 7.5.x version to be installed, but the base 7.5 doesn't support Win Server 2012.
 

Thanks for the info.

I should also be able to install 7.5.0.7  on our current Master/Media server which is running on Server 2008 R2 Standard with 7.5.0.6 curently installed. Correct??  Thank for you input.

My Master/Media server is Server 2008 R2 Standard with 7.5.0.6 currently installed. With that said, I should be able to install 7.5.0.7 on this server. Correct?

Also, from what you say, I can install 7.5.0.7 on any Server 2012 EXCEPT the Master/Media server ( which I don;t have).

They sure try and make things confusing sometimes.

Thanks

I think you are focusing on the "server" term for both your Netbackup servers and the clients you want to back up.  In most contexts on this board, a SERVER, or NetBackup server, would be either a NetBackup master server or media server.  The servers you want to back up would be the CLIENTS, not normally referred to as servers on this board.

Yes, you can install 7.0 or higher on your Windows Server 2008 R2 master/media server.

You can install 7.5.0.6 or higher on any Windows Server 2012 clients. 

Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 are supported as clients from 7.5.0.6 (as Nicolai says above).  Clients can be at 7.5.0.7 if you install the 7.5.0.7 base and apply the 7.5.0.7 maintenance patch on top that.

Windows Server 2012 is supported as a master or media server from 7.6 (as Ron says above, a couple times).  You would need to head to FileConnect to get 7.6 GA (7.6.0.1).

Windows Server 2012 R2 is supported as a master or media server from 7.6.0.3.  A separate full install just for Win2012R2 is available via TECH217834.

All this is covered, hopefully NOT so confusingly, in the O/S CL:

Ron,

My apologies.

Yes, I was mis speaking about the word 'server'

Re-phrased:

- Master/media server can be upgraded from current 7.5.0.6 to 7.5.0.7 ??

- clients ( PC's and client Server's ) running 7.5.0.3 or 7.0.5.6 can be upgraded to 7.5.0.7 ??

Just a straight forward upgrade?

Thanks, Neil
