NetBackup 7.7.1 with Enterprise Vault 12.1

[Amgad]

We are going to implement Enterprise Vault 21.1 for Exchange and File systems but we have NetBackup 7.7.1 but documntations says its not supported to backup Ev 12.1 backup is supported only with Netbackup 8 and we don't have a plan to upgrade soon

What Backup options we have if we want to implement Ev 12.1? can we use file level backup?

I must be missing something....

Why would your company want to install the latest version of an application and not be prepared to deploy backup software to protect the application?

[RiaanBadenhorst]

If you don't want to upgrade you can use traditional file system and sql backups to protect EV. You'll have to create the backup scripts to place EV Vaulstores and indexes into backup mode.

This may help, as it describes backing-up EV without an agent:

...and the NetBackup Blueprint for EV, link available within this, might prove useful too:
