With the release of backup exec 12, the Hardware compatibility list still only lists support for EMC CX500 SANs for the VSS option for OFFHOST backup.
Thus if you use an EMC SAN can only use the OFFHOST backup with 4-year-old hardware. EMC have not even sold these SANs for over 1 year.
This has moved past being an enhancement request and should really be treated as a bug. When is this going to be fixed?
