Exchange 2013 GRT support

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had any information on when Netbackup will support Exchange 2013 GRT? It looks as though it is not supported in 7.6.0.2

TIA!

Chris

And we all know by now to not hold our breaths for 'targeted' patch releases...

NBU 7.6.0.2 was originally 'targeted' for March/April of this year.
It was eventually released on 8 May....

Best to subscribe to NetBackup 7 Application/Database Agent (CL):   http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126904 

You will receive notification when this doc gets updated.

Another option is to ask your local reseller to contact Product Management and/or local Symantec SE for roadmap info.

7.6.0.3 is targeted for release in the July-Sept time frame.

Thanks Marianne, I contacted Symantec and it's due to be included in 7.6.0.3

 

To be fair we never get requests for granular restore and if we did we would use EVault first...we are going to push forward with the roll out of exchange 2013, due to be finished by the end of August so there will be a month or 2 (although I have said it will be unsupported until year end) without GRT cover...

I was hoping that Symantec would add GRT support for 2013 as an EEB, as this is already supported with Backup Exec 2014. 

Seems I am hoping in vain...
Probably not enough requests via Product Management from customers.

There you go hoping again.  Where's Bob when you need him?

On line with Symantec Tech Support and the guy isn't giving me any warm fuzzies about 7.6.0.3 having support for Exchange 2013 GRT.  Microsoft isn't playing nice and changed a lot of code on how backups run.
