Hello This is very frustrating, as they are looking at VMware5 early next year (Few weeks away now), and for NetBackup not to be "there to support it" is not good. And to wait for 6 - 8 months is not ideal. Simon

We are going ESX5, so I had hoped that 7.0 or at least 7.1 would support it. As I understand, 7.5 is in BETA still right ?

Howerver for ESX 5 we would have to wait for netbackup 7.5 We were also about to go Netbackup VMware agent based backups however had to drop it at last due to compatibility concerns.

VMware announced several months ago about vmware5. However, reading on some Symantec "Blog" sites, they talk about VMware5 being supported in NetBackup 7.5. Well, we are at 7.0.1 and I was kind of hoping that NetBackup and VMware5 would work in harmony. It is a little puzzling, because another product called VEEAM supports VMware 5 already. Should I really have to change to a different product to get support? If anyone either from Symantec, or anyone that has deployed VMware 5 can advise, this would be apprecaited, as I think its a bit foolish to upgrade to the later product if your backup solution doesnt meet the support requirements. Thank you for your help and any input :-) Regards Simon Weaver _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This email (including any attachments) may contain confidential and/or privileged information or information otherwise protected from disclosure.
