NetBackup Virtual Appliance compatibility with vSphere 6.5
Hi, we are considering deploying NetBackup for a newly installed VMware infrastructure. It's fully virtualized environment and we planned to use NetBackup Virtual Appliances - for both Master server and Backup media server. The installed vSphere version is 6.5 and we would use appliances ver. 3.1.2. However the documentation says, in section "Notes on NetBackup Virtual Appliance as a VMware backup host", that "The appliance supports vSphere versions 5.5 and 6.0". Does this mean the appliance is supported as a backup host in vSphere 6.0 and old 5.5 but NOT 6.5? It wouldn't be very nice. Does anyone have any experience using virtual appliances in vSphere 6.5 environment? I went through Software Compatibility List but it wasn't very helpful as details for Netbackup appliances as backup hosts are missing. Thanks, Petr

Hi All, Good day to all. I am trying to restore a VM to alternate Vcenter which is giving an error 2820 though the pre-recovery check ran fine. The nbu version is 7.6 and ESXi of alternate vcenter is 6.5. Please suggest. Let me know what more information is required.

Backing Up VM with Pass-Through Disk
I need to back virtual machines (VMs) from Hyper-V hosts with NetBackup client installed. Some of the VMs have direct connection to external storage over iSCSI (pass-through). I'd like to know if there are any issues. Thanks, Ross
