Netbackup 10 Software Compatibility List May 2026

Introduction Veritas NetBackup 10 represents a significant evolution in enterprise data protection, introducing key features such as flexible deployment models (including appliance, software-defined, and cloud-native), enhanced security with end-to-end encryption, and an improved API framework. However, as with any enterprise backup solution, successful deployment hinges on one critical document: The NetBackup 10 Software Compatibility List (SCL) .

Application and Database Compatibility NetBackup 10’s primary value is its deep integration with enterprise applications. The following tables outline supported versions for intelligent agents. 3.1 Oracle Database | Oracle Version | NetBackup 10.0 | 10.1.x | 10.2.x | Agent | RMAN Integration | |----------------|----------------|--------|--------|-------|------------------| | 19c (19.3–19.22) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Oracle Agent | Full | | 21c (21.3–21.13) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Oracle Agent | Full | | 23c (23.3+) | No | Yes (10.1.1+) | Yes | Oracle Agent | Full | | 12.2 | No | No | No | EOL | N/A | Server 2019/2022 | x86-64

The Software Compatibility List (often referred to as the NetBackup Compatibility List or NBCL) is the authoritative reference that specifies which operating systems, databases, applications, hypervisors, cloud platforms, and storage systems are supported with each version of NetBackup.

Before upgrading or deploying, always validate each component—OS, application, hypervisor, storage, and cloud platform—against the official Veritas SORT tool. Compatibility mistakes are the leading cause of backup failures and support denial.
