How did we go about supporting Windows Server 2019?

We had been actively working with Windows Server 2019 builds for quite some time now. We tested technical preview releases and prepared ourselves to support the final release. Our testing efforts for Windows Server 2019 Server began almost 6 months ago with validation of pre-release builds. We executed manual as well as automation test suites on each pre-release build. Performed Functionality validation on features such as core Backup and Restore, Simplified Disaster Recovery, Hyper-V, and Microsoft applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, Active directory, and SQL server.

We have qualified more than 20 plus Windows Server 2019 Server pre-release builds with different configurations, such as Windows Server 2019 failover cluster, Windows Server 2019 DFS, storage pools, and ReFS. Backup Exec 20.3 has been tested with all versions of Windows Server 2019 Server, such as Datacenter, Essentials, Standard, and Hyper-V Edition.

Qualification of Internal Build of Windows Server 2019 builds started right since February 2018 and continued till Windows server 2019 GA in November 2018. We were not only able to catch potential issues in our product but also were able to identify and worked with Microsoft to resolve Windows issues.

So, what are you waiting for?

Deploy Windows Server 2019 today, without waiting for backup to catch up! There is no need to take the old approach of waiting until late in the game to start implementing a new server OS. You can immediately start protecting Windows Server 2019 with Veritas Backup Exec 20.3.
