Configure Netbackup master/media server on virtual machine

Can we configure the Netbackup master/ media server on Virtual server or Backup Exec media server on virtual server, kindly find the below environment details,

 

ESX version 5.1 U1

Netbackup 7.5.0.6

Backup Exec 2010 R2 SP3

 

We are using tape library as storage.

  • This answer is for Netbackup, please ask the BackupExec question the the BackupExec forum.

    You can use virtual servers of Netbackup maser and media servers

    See: DOCUMENTATION: Support for NetBackup 7.x in virtual environments

    However the use of tape in VMware virtualized environments is NOT supported. See page 5 in above document. Use can use MSDP, disk or OST devices in VM's.
