Exchange 2013

No it isn't. Recommendation is to move to BE 15 to be supported.

Thanks!

Thnaks for the reply,

Can we use the BE 15 to backup exchange 2010 Sp3? I ask this becuase we must first upgrade our BE 2010 and configure it for our othere backup plans and then second step is to up grade to exchange 2013

Well yes you can, but only for rolling upgrade purposes. I wouldn't use this scenario for weeks.

However, you'd need to upgrade to BE 2010 R3 SP4 first in order to make sure your remote agents can communicate with the BE 15 media server.

Check below for more information:

You're going to end up doing an unnecessary double upgrade.

Thanks!

Yes you can

The answers to what the latest version of Backup Exec (15) supports are all in the software compatibility list http://www.veritas.com/docs/000024530

Note there is a similar list for the version of BE you are using already so you can see what newer operatimg systems and applications are not supported by that old version

This answer by CraigV assumes that you can't upgrade the remote agent on the Exchange 2010 SP3 server, my previous reply to one of the OPs comments assumes that he can upgrade the agent to the BE 15 version.

As such both answers could in essence be correct.

can we upgrade the qurrent version to be 15? or we need a frsh intall and we must first remove the qurrent version? removing the old version would means reconfiguring all the backup jobs

Since you are running version 2010 R2, the upgrade would be a multi-process. You would need to first upgrade to an intermediate version such as 2010 R3 or BE 2014 and then upgrade to BE 15.

Ofcourse, the alternative is to perform a clean install, however this would require reconfiguration.

Lastly, BE 15 does not run on a 32-bit OS as it requires a 64-bit OS only.

Thanks for the replay,

we really dont want to recreate all of the jobs again, you mean if we follow the upgrade to  2010 R3 or BE 2014 and then upgrade to BE 15 we dont need to recreate all the jobs?

because I can see the version 2014 is compeletly different job configuration.

Also right now we use Dell PowerVault 124T library, does the BE 2014 and 2015 supports this library?

Thanks

It should support the library, but confirm by checking the HCL below:

Could you please answer this question as well?
