File recovery with Hyper-V VM
Hi, We are currently on version 7.6.0.4 and I'm reading the notes to upgrade to version 7.6.1.2. We need this version because I need the support for Sharepoint 2013 with SQL server 2014. When reading through the release notes of version 7.6.1.2 I saw the following remark: "File recovery from VM backup is not supported for VMs that are .vhdx files". I'm wondering is this always the case? I did a test in my lab environment and I was able to restore a single file from a vhdx VM. We have several VM's already running with this config. Previous versions of Netbackup never mentioned this flaw. Are there certain netbackup configs were this flaw doesn't exists? I can't affort to lose this funtionality. We need the Sharepoint 2013 with SQL 2014 support. So not upgrading to 7.6.1.2 is not an option. Do I need to create a MS-Windows backup policy for those VM's just to keep the file recovery available? Are there any other options? Regards, Erwin

Does Netbackup support Hyper-V over SMB3
Hi, I'm playing with Hyper-V running on SMB3 file shares. Although the VM's are running fine on SMB3,I'm not able to backup a VM that is running on a SMB3 share. Does Netbackup support this configuration? I can't find much info on this kind of backup. My Hyper-V and file server are running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and my Netbackup environment is running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I'm curruntly on Netbackup 7.6.0.4. Can someone help my with this? Is this config supported by Netbackup? Regards, Erwin

Force full backup to other day in backup window
Dear All, I have some full VM (hyper-V) backups which end on error 196 every week on the same day (Monday night). The easiest solution is to change the backup window but I have plenty of backup window over on other days. When the clients misses there backup window the full backup is automatically taken the next day (Tuesday night). I assumed that in the following week the full backup of these client would be taken on Tuesday night but instead it tries to take the full backup again on Monday night and fails again with error 196. I toke a manual full backup during the day on Friday with the hope the full backup scheduled would shift to Friday night but this week the backup policy tried again to take the full backup on Monday night. I read David Chapa's article. I understood that manual backup have influence on scheduled backups. I did take a manual backup to influence the scheduled backup but it didn't work. Does this article still apply? I'm running Netbackup 7.6.0.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2. How can I force the full backup of some clients taken on another day? Regards, Erwin

Hyper-v NetBackup only of production copy of VMs (not the replicated VMs)
Am I missing something or is NetBackup way behind in Hyper-V support compared to VMWare. We have a VMWare and a Hyper-V implementation and we have replication for both for DR purposes (SRM for the one and native hyper-v replication for the other). Why isNetBackup smart enough not to backup the VMWare placeholder templates (replication placeholders) at the target site and still pull in the actually running VMs at that site, but it's not smart enough to do the same for Hyper-V replicated VMs. Instead, it will go ahead and backup all of the VMs on the host being backed up, regardless of whether they are actually the powered off DR target of a replicated production VM on another host. Also,for VMWare, Netbackup is smart enough to find the right vCenter that is managing a VM and back it up, regardless of the host it ison. It does this by us having the vCenter creds created outside of the policy- you merely use those creds implicitly when you edit a policy and browse for the VMs to backup. Why couldn't the same thing be done for Hyper-V? As it stands, I have to have separate policies now to backup each VM that is effectively managed through a different Hyper-V since the Hyper-V itself is tied to a specific policy. Now I know everyone is going to say, just backup the replicated copy and call it good, but it's not good. I want a fully quiesced copy of the VM at the current production site being backed up, not the replicated copy that I'm not quite fully sure of the current state (and can't be, because it's POWERED OFF). Safer to make the backup of the currently running VM... Lot's of questions, hopefully someone can respond since I don't see any documented strategy from Symantec on the backup of Hyper-V in a replicated DR scenario, relative to how it is done for the VMWare counterpart...
