SQL 2008 is supported in the later versions of AVAMAR. (v5)

Perhaps let us know what your avamar server version is running on.

It is not necessary to updrage the avamar server version to 5 but at least upgrade the client version to version 5 that will support SQL 2008.

Dependent on what version of Avamar server and client agents you are running, you will need to contact EMC support for the version upgrades.

Hi AvNewbie - since your question is about a production environment, you'll get better answers in the support forums...stand by and I'll get this thread moved for you. -Gina
