Backup Exec 2012 SP3 and Server 2012 R2 support

surfanor
Not applicable

In the current readme file associated with the 2012 SP3 Release Notes (http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5215) it specifically mentions that Server 2012 R2 is supported for the Hyper-V SP2 Agent.  Obviously we all know that to not be true.  Is 2012 R2 being supported in the SP3 Hyper-V Agent or is this just a huge mistake in the release document that has never been corrected?  Thanks

  • The Backup Exec 2012 SP2 Agent for Hyper-V lets you back up and restore Hyper-V virtual machines that are hosted on Microsoft Windows Server 2012/2012 R2. This version of Backup Exec supports the Windows Server 2012 VHDX file format and Microsoft incremental backups.

We are in the process of correcting DOC5215 as mentioning R2 in the Hyper-V section is an error.

For information on R2 please monitor this blog
