Can anybody tell me if backing up a Windows 2012 R2 VM running on vSphere 5.1-u1c with BE 2012 SP3 using the AVVI agent would be supported or not?
We are looking to deploy a new solution which will be running Windows 2012 R2 onto our virtual infrastructure and currently we use BE2012 AVVI backups for tape based off-site backups of VMs. The vendor of the solution being deployed has recommended Windows Server 2012 R2 but before we deploy this, I need to know how we would be covered from a support point of view by Symantec.
We will not require the GRT option to be enabled for this backup, so in affect it should not matter what the OS is as the only required component to support would be the vSphere environment and the SAN transport mechanism (which is currently all ok) so my thoughts are this should be ok?.....but I'd still like to hear from someone else on this to clarify the situation for my own sanity :-)
Thanks in advance!
