Netbackup does not care - partitions are the responsibility of the OS.

Netbackup uses the feature in the OS to read and write.

GPT must be used for disk parition is larger than 2TB,

As per post above, NBU doesn't care.

What are you using the disks for?

Backup source or backup target?

[zuhaib_siddiqui]

Restoration of BMR policy.

Netbackup 7.6 and newer support both UEFI and GPT for windows - see (seach for gpt)

[sdo]

Note this users discovery about BMR for UEFI based clients appears to only be for "self restore", see:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/uefi-bmr-restore-netbackup-76

...but personally I would check with official Veritas Support first to see if this is true.

And if anyone wants to know the difference between MBR and GPT:
