NetBackup GRT Support for Exchange 2016 CU5

We recently issued EEB 3918337 for NetBackup 8.0 to support Exchange 2016 CU5. Database backups and restores are fine without the EEB, as are GRT backups. You need the EEB to browse and restore mailbox content from your backups. The EEB is an adaptation to changes in the Exchange database. Future NetBackup releases will include the adaptation. Earlier Exchange versions such as 2016 CU4 continue to be supported with or without the EEB.

    The compatibility list has been updated to show that Exchange 2016 CU5 is supported by NetBackup 8.0. A footnote refers to TechNote https://www.veritas.com/docs/000126742 for a workaround, which is to apply the EEB. Our test engineers found a minor issue last week, and we updated the TechNote accordingly.

      The TechNote and EEB have been published, so Veritas support engineers should be able to get you the EEB.

      The team that tests Exchange proliferations and updates the compatibility list is running it through their test suite. I can update here when they are done. Meanwhile, backups, even GRT, are not affected by the database change. Nor are database restores, so even if you found a problem with GRT restore, you could restore to RDB. If you did find a problem with GRT restore, we'd sure like to know about it.

        Hmm, got the EEB from support. But no info if install on master/media and or only client...

        Support-dude gone home. I don't like to assume anything.

        The similar BE eeb cannot be uninstalled, so I guess this one cannot.

        Can anyone fill me in here?
