Hi,
Two questions, very happy for an answer to the 1st only if you dont know the answer to the second question.
1. When will Backup Exec support backing up Windows Server 2012?\
2. When Backup Exec supports Windows Server 2012, will Backup Exec support backup and restore on Windows Server disks, where Windows Deduplication is in use?
Thanks,
Trana

Win 2012 is not yet compatiable with any version of Backup Exec.

Thanks, that helps. But it doesnt answer the main question.
When will it be supported/be comptaible?
Installing any Beta version of Backup Exec in my production environment to backup my production Windows 2012 Server is not an option.
Or to rephrase, whats the latest release date for the official full version Backup Exec 2012 R2?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, Symantec does not publish roadmaps or ETA of a product.

Symantec aren't the only backup vendor that doesn't have support just yet. It seems like CA will only have support for Windows Server 2012 in March 2013!
