When will windows 2012 supoort be available for netbackup ?

What version will be needed ?

[Jaykullar]

I think there is going to be limited functionality in 7.5.0.6.........and possibly a full release in 7.6.

Best to check with Symantec.

Asked here about twice a week....

Unfortunately Symantec does not publish roadmap info in a public forum.

Get hold of Symantec product management via your Symantec reseller.

7.5.0.6, client only, due out Q2 2013.
7.6 will support media server and master server.  Release date is to be announced after the VISION conference currently going on.  I have not heard anything yet.

We have run backup and importantly restore of Windows 2012 files and SQL 2012 databases on Windows 2012 with the Netbackup 7.5.0.4 client.

There was an issue with permissons functioning differently on the SQL 2012 databases on Windows 2012, the script gave an exit code 0 eventhough nothing was backed up.
