    1) Stop all BE services including BKUPEXEC SQL service.

    2) Make a copy of Data and Catalogs folder located in the installation directory of BE.

    3) Download BE2014

    4) Extract the ISO on the local drive of the BE media server.

    5) Run setup

    6) Onec the upgrade is done run Liveupdate to install all the latest hotfixes.

    7) Update all the remote agents.

    Read BE2014 Software and Hardware compatibility list before upgrading.

    You may refer to the below article on upgrading BE.
