VCB, NetBackup & Windows 2008

[Nick_F]

Is anyone successfully doing VCB backups with NetBackup 6.5.2 and Windows 2008 VMs? I can currently backup Windows 2003 VMs but failing on Windows 2008, it looks to be this issue http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/307300.htm Turns out Windows 2008 doesn't have a boot.ini anymore but just wondering if people have managed to work aorund it (e.g. create a dummy boot.ini)? About to raise a call with Symantec but figured I'd check here first...

Nick,

You may want to check out this thread, looks like a few people have found a workaround, not sure if this is still an issue for you, but stumbled across both of these threads today doing some research for a client.

Hi Nick.

NetBackup will support a W2K8 Virtual Machine starting with the 6.5.3 release which is due out in December 2008.
