Azure Backup (MABS) support for vCenter 7.x?

Question

Azure Backup (MABS) support for vCenter 7.x?

T16 1

We currently have MABS taking care of VM backups with vCenter server 6.7U3 and it works OK.
Is there support for vCenter 7.x ? As we really need to upgrade to this soon, and we need the backups to continue to function!

Thanks

It seems to work.
I upgraded the vCenters we have, and refreshed in Azure backup, and it updated the version, and carried on.
I dont want to run unsupported as such, but it seems to look ok at face value.
Is there anything I need to know that would actually stop it from working?

@T16 Thanks for the update. Good to know it is working.
As mentioned in the previous it is still being worked upon and will officially supported with next update rollup for MABS v3. AFAIK, there wouldn't be any issue that may stop it from working. But if it does stop, from Azure technical support it will be treated as unsupported version.

Hello @T16 - Thank you for your patience!

Support for vSphere 7 is on the roadmap. We are currently working on it and plan to support it with next Update Rollup for MABS v3. However, we do not have a defined ETA for the next Update Rollup for MABS v3 to share it publicly.

Shall update this thread once we have any update to share here!
