Hello all, i'm not sure if this is the same for BE 2010 R3 and BE 2012...but we still haven't upgraded from BE version 2010. I tried to push the BE Agent to a Windows 2012 server from console and it failed.
So after some research I decided to try an manual install of the BE agent on my Win2012 server. (on the Win2012 - i browsed to the BE Server - C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Agents\RAWSX64\ and ran Setup.exe ) It worked, of course it did warn me about the incompatibility, it just needed me to install .net 3.5. In this case i'm trying to restore backups to this new Win2012 server, I need to test that it can actually run backup jobs.
So at this point the BE agent is installed on Win2012 and running, no crashing, or problems that i see and I've restore almost a TB of data so far. I'm sure Symantec will tell us it's not supported, but until we have another option this might work for some of you.
enjoy
