I hope that you are aware that Ubuntu 12.04 is currently not supported with any version of BE.

I agree with the poster, such a large company should be able to provide a complete backup solution that works with current operating systems. Looking forward to the update.

There are possible workarounds though, see http://blog.redweb.at/2012/08/howto-backupexec-2012-linux-agent-and-kernel-3-0-debian/

I think Ubuntu is not so uncommon today - we use it now for all Linux-Systems. If Symantec keeps saying this is not supported - guess what we will do with our support contract next year? 

I agree, this is ridiculous.  Also 12.04 isn't even the latest release of Ubuntu, you guys are seriously lagging behind.  We are going to probably have to look for a new backup solution due to this issue and we've been a customer of yours for many years.

We use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on our development server and even with the hack at http://blog.redweb.at/2012/08/howto-backupexec-201... it still doesn't work most of the time.  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS versions are common enough and it is unacceptable to just tell your users that the reason it doesn't work is that it is unsupported.
