NetBackUp 6.5.6 and Hyper-V Compatibility

Hello everybody.

I would like to know about compatibility between Netbackup 6.5.6 and Hyper-V. Can netbackup 6.5.6 be used for Hyper-V backups? What about licensing? Can it be used for vm backup or just file backup (like the physical machines)? Can it be installed in hyper-v?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

NetBackup Support for Hyper-V was introduced with 6.5.4 release. You can use NB 6.5.6 for backing up Hyper-V VMs, it supports VM and granular recovery (Windows).

You need NetBackup Enterprise Client license per host to configure snapshot based Hyper-V backups.
