Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers Software Compatibility List (SCL)

IntroductionListed below are the available operating systems, platforms and applications specifically tested by Symantec to be compatible with Backup Exec 11d for Windows

Servers.

For information specific to Backup Exec for Windows Servers Continuous Protection Server, please see:

The following guidelines regarding this Software Compatibility List (SCL) should be understood:

1. Symantec support of 3rd party manufacturer products

Symantec will cooperate with 3rd party vendors, and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the 3rd party and Symantec products. SymantecTechnical Support on the combination of Symantec and 3rd party products listed in this document is conditional on the 3rd party product being supported by the originalmanufacturer or vendor. If the original vendor has ceased providing support for a version of their product, Symantec also will no longer be able to provide support on

that product in combination with our products.

2. Minor dot. Version support: The contents of this document including 3rd party applications, databases, operating systems, in combination with Symantec productsrepresent what has been tested in Symantec labs, or in Symantec-supervised partner labs, but is not intended to be a complete list of supported products and versions.

Manufacturers of these products may frequently release minor version updates to their products as maintenance during their product's normal life cycle. (e.g. version1.x.x.x) that may not be explicitly listed in this document. In these situations where the base or major version of the product is listed as supported in this document butthe minor maintenance update is not, Symantec will provide "best effort" support on these versions until specific testing of them has completed.

3. Not every combination of software and hardware is tested. Symantec provides best efforts to qualify Backup Exec with as many different operating systems,service packs, hardware platforms, database application service packs, and other applications as possible. However, due to the number of combinations, it is not

possible to test all combinations for compatibility. If a particular service pack or version is not listed as specifically tested by Symantec, it may work fine, but has notbeen explicitly tested by Symantec with Backup Exec.

4. To request additions to this list: If a particular platform is not currently listed as being supported, a request for additions to this list can be made through the

Symantec Product Enhancement Web site:

5. The Backup Exec 11d Remote Agent for Windows and NetWare Servers is strongly recommended for use with Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers; the Backup

Exec 10d remote agent (with latest service pack) is also compatible for the purpose of rolling upgrades with the exception of any caveats listed in the notes. The BackupExec 10.0 Remote Agent for Windows is not supported and not recommended for use with Backup Exec 11d for Windows Media Servers. Please seefor caveats when in a CASO environment.

6. The Remote Administrator is only compatible with Backup Exec 11.x for Windows Servers. The Remote Administrator and the media server to which it is connectingmust be the same version. The Remote Administrator is not compatible with Backup Exec 8.x or 9.x or 10.x.

7. The Remote Administrator can be installed on any operating system listed in the "Media Server Operating System Compatibility" section.

Guest virtual server(s) must be shut down to ensure backup consistency and avoid backup failure. Guest virtual server(s) will be protected as a single object. Backup

Exec remote agents and options (except IDR) can be installed on the guest virtual server, assuming the guest OS is supported.

6. Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 (x64) is supported except for the following limitations with the IDR feature. (1) Remote IDR. One limitation is that this OS

uses a driver called a "Bus Driver" which is not currently supported. When you do a remote IDR you need to connect to the network in order to connect to the devicethat has the restore data. However since the network interface card uses a bus driver you will not load the bus driver; thus you will not be able to restore any data ondevices which need network connectivity. (2) Fibre IDR. If you are on 11d.0 you will need a hot fix in order to perform an IDR via the SAN. The hot fix can be found at

CDO needs to be installed on the Exchange server in order to do GRT backup/restores.Backup Exec 11d supports Exchange 2007 CCR, LCR and SCC. CPS does not support CCR. Requires BEWS 11d build 7170. See

for download instructions.

2. SharePoint 2007 requires BEWS 11d build 7170 with hotfix 6. Hotfix 6 is included in SP1 and can be found here: -

1. You cannot perform granular recovery of Active Directory items of a x64 bit Domain Controller from a 32bit Media Server unless you are running backup Exec build7170. If the backup of the x64 bit Active Directory is sent directly to tape, that tape can be inventoried and cataloged on a x64 bit Backup Exec Media server, and

granular items can then be recovered.

2. If Backup Exec resides on a 32bit Windows 2003 installation you need to have the Exchange tools installed locally in order to backup Exchange 2007. Backup Exec

installed onto Windows 2000 does not support backing up Exchange 2007. CDO needs to be installed on the Exchange server in order to do GRT backup/restores.
