Regarding Windows Server 1709 and the semi-annual release channel:
.
I'm keen to know what the current and future support plans are and might be for:
Windows Server 1709 - Core - for both Standard and Datacenter
Windows Server 1709 - with Desktop Exprience (if this ever gets created/released) - for both Standard and Datacenter
.
Does anyone know what the NetBackup Client, and/or NetBackup Server status is now, or might be planned in the future ?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, not officially supported... yet - but I am trying to find out if/when, and I will post if/when I find out, if I am allowed to...
...but so far these have tested ok in a lab environment:
- VM style backups using WMI from client NetBackup Client v8.1 on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Hyper-V cluster to perform a backup of a Windows Server 1709 Core Datacenter virtual machine
- file level style backup of ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES from NetBackup Client v8.1 inside a Windows Server 1709 Core Datacenter VM - and a restore back, and large binary file compared ok.
.
The new WMI style backup with accelerator and client-side dedupe for a backup of a virtual machibe via NetBackup Client 8.1 (i.e. Enterprise Client) on Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V cluster host... very nice. Well done Veritas !
