Scope
Syncsort NSB and BEX Compatibility Guide contains information for NSB version 3.4.x, 3.2.x and BEX version 3.4.x, 3.2.x, 3.1.x, 3.0.x and 2.35.x.
Terms used in the guide
Open Storage: A backup and restore mode that provides seamless block-level backup from Windows, Solaris, or Linux based operating systems to disk-based storage devices hosted on BEX Advanced Server. This feature applies to BEX only.
SnapVault: A backup and restore mode that provides seamless block-level backup from primary systems (such as Windows, Solaris, or Linux based operating systems) to NetApp disk-based storage devices.
Advanced Recovery supports the following features:
o Advanced Server (formerly called XRServer): A computer that can store protected data on local or attached disk storage. This is the destination for Advanced Recovery Open Storage backups. This feature applies to BEX only.
o Advanced Client: A computer that contains the data, applications, volumes, and operating systems that are protected with Advanced Recovery.
o Bare Metal Recovery (BMR): An optional feature that provides point-in-time server image recovery of an Advanced Client using Advanced Recovery’s single image backup. Formerly called ExpressDR.
o Application Recovery: An optional Advanced Recovery feature that rapidly recovers data from SQL, Oracle, and MS Exchange.
o Instant Availability (IA): A feature that provides instant access to backed up data and applications.
o Instant Virtualization (IV): A feature that enables customers to create a virtual machine in an ESX or ESXi server from any recovery point on any Windows physical or virtual backed up instance. IV creates a virtual machine in the virtual machine host without restoring data from the selected recovery point. This operation does not physically transfer data to the virtual machine and thus makes it possible to complete a disaster recovery operation of a physical or virtual server in minutes, without recovery storage requirements.
o Full Virtualization (FV): A feature that enables customers to create a virtual machine in an ESX or ESXi server from any recovery point on any Windows physical or virtual backed up instance. FV creates a virtual machine in the virtual machine host that contains a clone of the backed up server. If the backed up server is physical, FV performs a physical-to-virtual (P2V) operation.
Backward Compatibility
NSB: Master Server and Device Server must always be on the same version. Master Server/Device Server supports two releases backwards for Clients only.
BEX: Master Server, Device Server and Advanced Server must always be on the same version. The following matrix shows the supported client versions. To assure the most reliable operation and enable the most efficient support it is strongly recommended that Clients be upgraded to the same version as the Master Server as soon as it is practical and that all components (servers and clients) be kept current to the latest patch level for their release version. New features or enhancements to features in a new release will not be available for prior versions.

The Support LifeCycle Schedule provides advanced notification of planned changes in product support. This information helps customers and partners with product planning and information technology decisions. Syncsort regularly reviews system and application popularity and will include and exclude various features on a regular basis.
Full support includes software maintenance updates, content updates, software fixes, knowledge base support and access to Syncsort support engineers per terms of the maintenance agreement. NSB/BEX releases typically reach General Availability (GA) approximately once a year.
The extended support includes access to Syncsort support engineers per terms of the maintenance agreement, access to already existing software updates/fixes and knowledge base support, but excludes new software maintenance and content updates. The investigation by Syncsort into new issues is limited and will not include any development.
Syncsort support of operating systems and applications parallels that of the third party vendors: when third-party vendor products go into extended support, self-serve support, or end of life Syncsort generally does the same.

Syncsort provides Advanced Recovery for Virtualization to protect Hyper-V environments. Advanced Recovery for Virtualization is an agent-based solution, and an Advanced Client agent must be installed in each guest virtual machine that is protected by NSB or BEX. Though the guest virtual machine backup is scheduled and performed as a backup for a physical machine, there are some advanced features are specifically designed for virtual environments like Instant Virtualization ™ and Full Virtualization to VMware, which enable you to create a virtual machine from any recovery point on any Windows physical or virtual backed up instance.
Syncsort will support Microsoft Hyper-V on hardware platforms certified by Microsoft.
For the OSes listed in the table below, any NSB or BEX Application Recovery agents supported within a physical machine are also supported within a virtual machine.
The Advanced Recovery features in the table below apply to both NSB and BEX unless otherwise noted. The minimum NSB version required is 3.2.x. The minimum BEX versions required are listed in the table.

Syncsort provides a two-pronged, integrated business continuity solution for VMware environments. In addition to supporting VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB), Syncsort provides Advanced Recovery for Virtualization to protect VMware environments.
Syncsort supports VMware Virtualization on hardware platforms certified by VMware.
Advanced Recovery for Virtualization
Advanced Recovery for Virtualization is an agent-based solution, and an Advanced Client agent must be installed in each guest virtual machine that is protected by NSB or BEX. Though the guest virtual machine backup is scheduled and performed as a backup for a physical machine, they are some advanced features are specifically designed for virtual environments like Instant Virtualization ™ and Full Virtualization, which enable you to create a virtual machine from any recovery point on any Windows physical or virtual backed up instance.
For the OSes listed in the table below, any Application Recovery agents supported within a physical machine are also supported within a virtual machine, but please note applications on a clustered virtual machine are not supported. Refer to Database and Application Compatibility for details.
The Advanced Recovery features in the table below apply to both NSB and BEX unless otherwise noted. The minimum NSB version required is 3.2.x. The minimum BEX versions required are listed in the table.

BEX VCB Support
In additional to Advanced Recovery for Virtualization, Syncsort can also protect VMware environments by integrating with VCB technology. Syncsort will support customers using BEX to integrate with VMware virtual environments or running BEX on a virtual machine. Syncsort will provide technical support for BEX in VMware virtual environments in an identical manner as with BEX on other supported x86-based systems without requiring reproduction of issues on native hardware. Should Syncsort have reason to identify the virtualization layer as the root cause of an incident, the customer will be required to contact the appropriate VMware support provider to resolve the virtualization layer issue. BEX application interfaces on individual guest may be required to properly protect supported applications.

Note:
1. The latest patch for each major NSB or BEX release is strongly suggested.
2. IBM LTO5 Driver is not supported.
Disk Array
Syncsort supports any disk array that can be mounted as local disk to a Device Server or a BEX Advanced Server. For BEX Advanced Recovery, BEX Advanced Server supports direct attached storage, SAN, or iSCSI-attached storage devices. A highly reliable configuration such as RAID 5 with hot spares is recommended for a BEX Advanced Server. iSCSI storage configurations may not provide optimal performance and are not recommended for Advanced Server backup target volumes.
Tape Library / Standalone Tape Device
Syncsort supports tape devices that are compliant with the SCSI-2 standard. Additionally, Medium Changer support on Windows requires Windows NT SCSI Pass-Through support from the HBA driver (BEX versions prior to 3.1.1 update level 0294), a vendor-supplied Medium Changer driver supporting Windows NT SCSI Pass-Through (BEX 3.1.1 update level 0294 and later), or the Syncsort Medium Changer driver (available in NSB or BEX 3.2.1 and later).
Unless otherwise advised by Syncsort Professional Services or Technical support, the operating system of the Device Server that connects the tape or jukebox device should have properly installed drivers that are recommended by the device manufacturer.
No troubleshooting or bug fix support is offered for devices that are no longer supported by the hardware vendor. Minimal troubleshooting and no new development will be done for devices connected to OSes that are no longer supported by the vendor.
Syncsort supports tape devices from vendors including ADIC, Certance, Dell, Exabyte, Fujitsu, Gateway, Hitachi, HP, IBM, NCR, NEC, Overland Storage, Panasonic, Qualstar, Quantum, Sony, Spectra Logic (including T-Finity library), Sun StorageTek, Sun, etc. The BEX Medium Changer driver for Windows supports medium changers from vendors including ADIC, HP, IBM, Overland Storage, Qualstar, Quantum, Sony, Spectra Logic (including T-Finity library), Sun StorageTek, Sun, etc.
Virtual Tape Library
NSB or BEX treats a VTL device that is not listed in the table below as a regular tape library and supports it the same way it does for tape libraries.
