8.1 / 8.0.1 is still in Beta testing. I received this email 2 days ago:"  NetBackup beta (8.0.1 Beta5) is available for download on the VxBeta (https://vxbeta.veritas.com) website. "

Will 8.1 support VMWare Linux XFS file systems?

backup-botw · Answer

No it will not. We asked the question about XFS at Vision...at least not from a file level recovery perspective.

marianne · Answer

Seems not.
See&nbsp;Table 12 &nbsp;'VMware guest operating systems supported for file-level recovery' in latest Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x and 8.x in a Virtual Environment.
Table 13 shows&nbsp;XFS -&nbsp;Planned for a future release.
