Backup Exec 2010 Quickstart and Windows Server 2012?
Hi,
I've a few questions if anyone can help. My Google-Fu is leaving me a little confused.
Client purchased a new LTO-5 drive that comes with a 'license key card' for Backup Exec 2010 Quickstart. The plan is for it to go into an existing Windows 2012 Essentials Server. Now the questions-
1.) Will BE 2010 Quickstart work on Server 2012? Its only going to be backing up the server. No VM's, SQL, etc.
2.) With this 'key card', can I just use the ISO we've already downloaded from here: http://trialware.norton.com/files/fc/Backup_Exec_2010_13.0.5204_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual_DVD.iso and use the QuickStart key or do I need to get the QuickStart media?
3.) If there is a CD/DVD, and its an 'older version' of BE2010 QS, is there an R3 version of Quickstart? Will there be?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. Nothing will run on Windows 2012 currently. In the next couple of weeks, the Beta test for BE 2010 (patch for support) and BE 2012 R2 will start, which will allow support of Windows 2012.
2. You need to use the QuickStart media AFAIK. But beware it is severely cut down and excludes virtually everything from a full BE. You can only really add a Library Expansion Option License, so it might be best to just upgrade to the full version of BE. BE QuickStart is OEM'd and your support lies with your hardwar vendor.
3. Not sure...
Thanks!
