I've been searching, but I'm not seeing an answer for this anywhere. Now that Windows Server 2012 is available, I want to start using the new version of Hyper-V. What I need to know is does Backup Exec have support for it yet? I am currently running 2010 R3, and would prefer not to have to purchase an upgrade to 2012 right now if I can avoid it.
