Hi

 

Can anyone comfirm that GPT disk are supported when backing up throug a Remote Agent, a Symantec Document would be nice :)

 

I can only find information stating that GPT disk are not supportet using Hyper-V or VMware backups

GTP disks are supported for traditional backups using a Remote Agent.

It is possible that GPT might still affect SDR recovery - but for a straight file system backup and file restore we do not care whether the disk is MBR or GPT

 

See this Hyper-V doc where we actually state the workaround is an agent backup
