New features: Integrated deduplication ■ Client deduplication ■ Media server deduplication ■ OpsCenter ■ Convergence of NOM and VBR ■ Improved ease-of-use ■ Additional base reporting functionality ■ Direct upgrade path ■ Expanded and simplified deployment ■ OpsCenter Analytics ■ Turnkey operation to enable advanced, business reporting ■ Improved reporting features ■ NetBackup for VMware ■ Fully integrated with VMware vStorage APIs ■ New VM and file recovery from incremental backups ■ New recovery wizard ■ Tighter vCenter integration ■ Guided Recovery ■ New database agents and enhancements to existing agents ■ Exchange 2010 support ■ Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 client support ■ Enhancements to the NetBackup Enterprise Vault agent - Support all Enterprise Vault 8.0 databases using the Enterprise Vault Agent including the Fingerprint database, FSA Reporting database, and Auditing database - Enterprise Vault 8.0 support for granular quiescence - Enterprise Vault Migrator is now included with NetBackup ■ Enhancements to the NetBackup for Hyper-V agent - New file-level incremental backups - Two types of off-host backup - Hyper-V R2 and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) - Flexible VM identification ■ Improved SharePoint Granular Recovery ■ New platform proliferation ■ NetBackup 7.0 supported platforms ■ NetBackup 7.0 feature notifications Known Issues: Domain is OpsCenterusers@domain not NOMBuiltin@domain ; that is an error in the documentation. The userid and password are admin and password Master server version reports NetBackup 3.4 incorrectly After Windows Reboot, OpsCenter fails to start. Fix is to Restart the Authentication Service then start the OpsCenter Services. Pop-Up Blocker prevents the OpsCenter interface from initializing. Turn off Pop-Up blocker to run OpsCenter. On 64 bit windows systems, OpsCenter install or upgrade might fail. Install "VC2005 x86" from the DVD (<DVD Drive>\x86\Server\Prerequisites\vcredist_x86.exe) If OpsCenter installation failed due to any reason, the roolback and cleanup may not happen correctly in some scenarios. The fix is to execute the command “ SC DELETE OPSCENTERSERVER” The Windows/Solaris installation will fail if the OpsCenter host is not part of any domain name. (host is not qualified with a suffix such as “min.veritas.com”) Workaround: The solution is to add a domain suffix and then re-install Drive throughput and Drive utilization reports don’t work in some scenarios Creation of a custom report doesn’t work if user chooses Absolute timeframe option Deduplication reports (Size factor, Protected Size vs. Backed up Size, Size Savings reports) don’t work in a PDDE environment. They only work in a standalone PureDisk environment. I wanted all of guys to share new experience in working Netbackup 7.0. Share us the New Finding/Errors.
