Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
Avamar Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
EMC® Avamar®
December 2012
This compatibility and interoperability matrix provides information on clients, operating systems,
platforms, and applications supported by EMC Avamar. Topics include:
Contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative for updates or
information not included in this document.
EMC maintains a large collection of the products as well as third-party application
software for qualification with EMC backup and recovery systems and to simulate
customer environments, but you must consult the vendors for information about their
systems.
For the latest Avamar Client Package, there is no need to perform a server upgrade to get the latest
client enhancements, as an existing Avamar v5.x or v6.0 server can be upgraded with the new client
code. There are a few exceptions to this for the following items:
VMware vSphere support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-407 or greater) or later
VMware vSphere 4.1 ESX and ESXi support integration requires the Avamar v5.0 SP3 server and the
updated VMware proxy client included in the Avamar v5.0SP3 release or later
NAT support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-407 or greater) or later
Windows and Mac Desktop and Laptop support requires the Avamar 5.0 GA server (build 5.0.0-407
or greater) or later
Localization updates for Desktop/Laptop requires the Avamar v5.0 SP3 server and the updated
Desktop/Laptop client(s) included in the Avamar v5.0SP3 release or later
The following SQL Plugin features requires Avamar 5.0 Service Pack 1 server (build 5.0.1-32 or
greater) or later
o SQL automated log tail backups, SQL point in time recovery, SQL forced incremental backups
The Exchange VSS Plug-in Granular Level Recovery (GLR) feature requires Avamar 6.0 server or later
The SharePoint VSS Plug-in requires Avamar 6.0 server or later
Data Domain integration requires Avamar 6.0 server or later
The Hyper-V VSS, SAP and Sybase Plug-ins require Avamar 6.1 server or later
The Avamar 6.1 SQL Plug-in is compatible with Avamar 6.1 Server only. Avamar 6.1 Server is compatible with
the Avamar 6.1 SQL Plug-in only.
1.
When using the Avamar 6.1 VMware proxy with a v6.0 server, the server must be at SP2 or greater,
and only image backups / restores are supported.
