Can this combination work? NBU v8.0 and ESX v6.7.

Sango
Level 3

My NBU Master and Media server is v8.0.

My ESX host are v6.7.

I know I need at least NBU v8.1.1 to backup v6.7 ESX.

However, if I will to install the NBU v8.1.1 agent into the Windows 2016 VM, can I still do a file level backup? NBU Master and Media server is still v8.0

Thanks.

Hello,

first, combination of newer Client and older Master/Media Server is not supported. So you have two choices:

- upgrade Master/Media to at least 8.1.1 and have both VM and FS (including BMR) support for Win 2016 guest

- keep Master/Media on 8.0 and install 8.0 client into Windows 2016. Then you have only file-level backup support (but without BMR)
