Exchange 2007 support in Netbackup 6.0 MP7

[nbguru]

Hi,

I have a plan to apply MP7 in our netbackup 6.0 environment. Please let me now whether I would be able to backup exchange 2007 after upgrading to MP7.

Regards,

Does it mention it in the README?

I couldnt find anything from readme, But I know that MP6 supports exchange 2007. What about MP7?

[Stumpr2]

I have never known VERITAS/symantec to drop support through a maintenance pack instrument. That has historically been left to the major releases.....now on the other hand they frequently add support through MPs.

I had a discussion with symantec, according to them with MP7 its possible backup Exchange 2007 message store and mail boxes.

Question, Does anyone know if there are any differences between 6.0MP7 and 6.5.x exchange backup features?  Other than the obvious differences between 6.0 and 6.5.

I have looked high and low and the only thing mentioned in the MP7 readme is that exchange 2k7 is now supported...

Preferably, a comparison of features between MP7 and backupexec 11d (our current backup solution for exchange).  I don't know backupexec too well and I don't maintain that server. But due to organizational changes I may be required to add our exchange servers to my netbackup environment and I want to be sure of any features we may be gaining and/or losing.

Thx,

Matt
