Backing up (exporting) BackupExec Config

Hello Noodles,

you can copy the entire data folder from the backup Exec installation directory to the another partition so in case if you server crashes u just need to install the Backup Exec and replace the new data folder with the old data folder  and restart the services that should bring all your jobs and configuration back.

Path for the DATA folder "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\data"

please stop the SQL server service for the backup Exec from the services.msc window first and then copy it to the other location.....SQLSERVER(BKUPEXEC) service.


Let me know if this answers your questions

As per the query you have you dont need to backup the database for the backup exec as every day at 4 :00am you have the database maintainance scheduled and dumps its database ..... All the configuration about the backup exec is stored in the data folder which is at C:program files /Symantec/backup exec/  you can stop all the services along with the Sql service  and make a copy of data and the catalog folder .... 

  Addtional you can create a configuration file for backup exec using BEutility
