NetBackup support for Enterprise Vault 11

[dAncer]

Dear All,

we are doing a lot of upgrades for Enterprise Vault to the latest version 11. Most of the customers are also using NetBackup to protect (backup) their EV environement. Surprisingly, after the EV upgrade to V11 - neither version of NBU (up to 7.6.0.3) does support EV! Backup jobs from existing (formerly working) bacup policies are failing (with status code 2, etc). And it became to the surface, that EV11 is not supported by NBU, which is ridiculous.

Does anyone have the information when (and which version) of NBU will support EV 11? I didn't find any clear answers from anyone on the internet, unfortunatelly...

(For the time being, I was forced to deactivate all existing EV policies and create new, which are using scripts to put EV in a backup mode and have a separate policies for SQL DB backups and opened partitions backups - which is very inconvenient, certainly).

Any news would be highly appreciated!

dAncer , EV 11 will be supported from NBU 7.6.0.4 which is scheduled to relaese anytime this week.

Hopefully you're seeing that today!  EV 11 support was mentioned in the 7.6.0.4 Release Announcement posted earlier on Connect, and those Compatibility Lists should have been refreshed with 7.6.0.4 going GA.
