    That limitation is for NBU 7.5.0.6* and 7.5.0.7*.

    See June 10 version of 
    Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment:    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089

    Table 22: 

    7.6.0.2* and later

    Adds support for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2. Also adds support for VHDX files.
    NetBackup limitations on Hyper-V Server 2012 and Hyper-V Server 2012 R2:
    ■ Block-level incremental backup is not supported.
    ■ File-level recovery from a Hyper-V backup is not supported in any of the following cases:
    ■ The files inside a VM reside in a Resilient File System (ReFS) volume.
    ■ The files inside a VM reside in an NTFS deduplicated volume.
    ■ The files are in a VM (any guest OS) that resides on a Hyper-V 2012 R2 server with
    the Windows Server 2012 R2 update of April 2014.
    For more information on the update, see the following Microsoft article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355
    Apart from the above restrictions, file-level recovery is supported when the files inside the
    VM reside in an NTFS volume and the VM is composed of VHD or VHDX files.
