Hi Stefan,
After re-checking my facts :-) the VM guest being Windows Server 2012 R2
should be fine (but the restriction about the disks being MBR basic type
remains).
The restriction is that if you want to use application protection, the data
mover cannot be on Windows Server 2012 R2. It must be one of the other
operating systems called out in that technote:
Application protection for VM guests is supported:
on the vStorage Backup server for the following platforms:
Microsoft Windows 2008 (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit)
Microsoft Windows 2012 (64-bit)
Linux 64-bit platforms
VMware ESX 5.x or later (Windows, Linux)
Best regards,
- Andy
