Q and A
Here are the answers to your queries:
- Can I upgrade from Veritas 10d to Backup Exec 2010? anyway what's the deferent betwen Veritas and Backup Exec?
Yes. You can upgrade from Veritas 10d to Backup Exec 2010 but it will not be a direct upgrade. It will be a two step upgrade. First you will have to upgrade to Backup Exec 11d / 12d / 12.5 and then upgrade to BE 2010. If you have less number of jobs then we recommend you to uninstall BE 10d and then perform a clean fresh installation of BE 2010. Then recreate all the jobs.
Refer to the following link for the upgrade,

Veritas was a different company which has been taken over by Symantec and now the new improved versions of Backup Exec are released under the Symantec banner.
