Introduction
Listed below are the available operating systems, platforms and applications specifically tested by Symantec to be compatible with all versions of Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Servers. For information specific to Backup Exec for Windows Servers Continuous Protection Server, please see: <http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/285788> 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. Symantec Technical 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 original manufacturer 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 products represent 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. version 1.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 but the minor maintenance update is not, Symantec will provide "reasonable effort" support on these versions until specific testing of them has completed. 3. Not every combination of software and hardware is tested. Symantec provides reasonable 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 not been 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: <http://enhancement.symantec.com> 5. The Backup Exec 12.5 Remote Agent for Windows and NetWare Servers is strongly recommended for use with Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Servers; the Backup Exec 12 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 Backup Exec 12 Remote Agent for Windows is supported but not recommended for use with Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Media Servers. Please see <http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/277323> for caveats when in a CASO environment. 6. The Remote Administrator can be installed on any operating system listed in the "Media Server Operating System Compatibility" section.

Notes
1. GRT enabled ADBO backups of an Exchange 2007 Cluster are not supported. 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. Backup Exec 12.5 supports Exchange 2007 CCR, LCR and SCC. CPS does not support CCR. See <http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287939> for download instructions. 3. The use of GRT technology is now supported on Exchange 2007 running on Windows 2008. Please see the following TechNote for further details <http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/294622.> At this time, we do not support installing Microsoft Office on the same server where the CDO/MAPI components are installed. 4.

Note:ESX is not clustered like Windows. You can setup a Datacenter of ESX servers that manage a number of VM Guests. Vmotion and DRS are used to move the Guests from one ESX host to another. Clustering falls under a VCB supported operation. In order to create a Microsoft Cluster on ESX you have to use "Independent Disks". These "Independent Disks" are not snappable by VCB. Note:The only platform not supported with the transport mode NBD/NBDSSL is version 3.0.2. All other versions are supported. The transport Mode HOTADD is only available with VCB 1.5 backing up ESX 3.5 Update 2 or greater. Note:Backup Exec 12.5 will not support the new vApp feature of vSphere 4.0 and 4i in this release. VM's contained in vApp locations will not be displayed by Backup Exec 12.5 and must be backed up seperately from vApp locations. Note:After applying Backup Exec 12.5 Hotfix 328462, an Agent for VMWare Virtual Infrastructure (AVVI) backup job with the "Granular Recovery Technology" (GRT) option enabled, completes with the exception "Failed to mount one or more virtual disk images" Please see the following TechNote for further information: <http://support.veritas.com/docs/331927>

Note: Hyper-V is not supported with CPS. Note: No cluster support with CPS. Listed below are the available operating systems and platforms specifically tested by Symantec to be compatible with Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Servers Continuous Protection Server. Symantec provides reasonable 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 not been explicitly tested by Symantec with Backup Exec. 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: <http://enhancement.symantec.com/> Support is conditional according to the notes corresponding to the individual platform. See the Notes Reference section for details.
