How to upgrade agent BE for Windows without restarting the server.

On the server you want to update the agent on the server can not restart. How do I resolve this issue? So after the update service BackupExecAgentAccelerator does not start. Server is working 365/24/7.

    However, would recommend scheduling a downtime for a reboot as this may work just temporarily.

  • This entire thread should be corrected and the details of the reg key be removed.  Nick has clearly shared the reasons for which this should not be done and only puts you at risk of a crash, and who knows what will happen from that point.

  • I understand your concerns, in the Russian there is a phrase: if forbidden, but if you really need - if allowed!

  • Regardless of your nationality, you are always allowed to muck around with your backups.  Just be prepared to explain to your boss why there is no backup to restore when it is needed.

  • I checked everything:

    1. Updated client
    2. Remove  key in registry
    3. Start Agent
    4. Created the test database,
    5. backup database,
    6. Delete  database,
    7. Restore database
  • Did you check that every backup can be restored?  If not, how can you be sure that they are good?

  • Based on the feedback from Nick Elmer and Skip St Pierre I have censored the exact registry key from this thread.

     

    Please do not repost details of the key
