Hi Guys,
We just migrated our Hyper-v virtual machines from 2008 to 2012. I successfully backup the virtual machine, but when i tried to restore the virtual machine I noticed that .vhd is missing and only .xml file is their. Please see attached file for the screenshots.
Is this a bug on Netbackup 7.5.0.6 Hyper-v 2012?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Correct. Your opening post mentioned .vhd, not .vhdx.
As per Release Notes:

Seems Hyper-V 2012 is not yet supported.
See Statement of Support for NetBackup 7.x in a Virtual Environment: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089
NetBackup for Hyper-V Compatibility lists Windows Server 2008,Windows Server 2008 R2.
**** EDIT ****
According to this blog it is supposed to be supported with NBU 7.5.0.6:

If you are using the correct NBU 7.5.0.6 W2012 binaries (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH204661), probably best to log a Support call.

Hi Marianne,
I think our Hyper-v 2012 (Windows server 2012 DataCenter) is supported but with limitations. We noticed that when we backup virtual machine with .vhdx disk the backup is successful and .vhdx appears in the BAR GUI (Please see attached file). The only problem with this is we can't restore file-level recovery.
Thanks.

Thanks Marianne! We will just convert our virtual machines with .vhd disk to .vhdx.

Hi Marianne,
Symantec support just gave me Emergency Engineering Binary (EEB) for Hyper-v host. This is a known issue on NBU 7.6 for Hyper-v 2012.
If anyone encounters this issue. Please call Symantec Support for EEB.
Thanks.
