Operating systems

For a list of supported OS distributions and versions, see the VDDK 7.0.3 Release Notes.

NetVault Backup versions

The Plug‑in for VMware 13.1 requires NetVault Backup 12.2 or later.

NOTE: Be aware of the following:
•
If you used the Distributed Jobs feature with an earlier version of the plug-in — the feature was added starting with version 12.0 — you must upgrade your NetVault Backup Server and Client software to 13.1 as well as updating the plug-in to take advantage of the enhancements.
•
Existing backup jobs that were created using version 12.0 through 12.3 of the plug-in and used the Distributed Jobs feature continue to function the same way in which they were created.

For complete supported-platform information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide available at https://support.quest.com/technical-documents.

Packages

On a Windows operating system, the Plug‑in for VMware 13.1 requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 or later.

Using the plug-in without this package results in a “Failed to get connection to plugin” error.

 
* 
NOTE: To use the Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) with OEM ESXi, you require VMware ESXi Foundation, Standard, or Enterprise license. This license can be obtained from OEM or VMware directly.

Upgrade and compatibility

Plug‑in for VMware 13.1 requires NetVault Backup 12.2 or later. For complete supported-platform information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide.

•
Cannot browse mounted virtual machines after upgrading NetVault Backup: After installing the plug‑in, if you upgrade the NetVault Backup software, you must reinstall the plug-in on that machine. Otherwise, you cannot open the Drives node of a mounted virtual machine for any new file‑level backups.
•
Restart the NetVault Backup Service if “nvvmwmount.exe” was running during upgrade: If the mount process “nvvmwmount.exe” was running during an upgrade from 2.x, restart the NetVault Backup Service on the client.

Product licensing

To obtain the license key for your NetVault Backup Server environment, determine the NetVault Machine ID of your main NetVault Backup Server. Also identify the machine IDs of any clients running application plug-ins, such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Exchange.

You can use the NetVault Configuration Wizard to install the product license keys. Alternatively, you can install the license keys from the Manage Clients page.
