Performing inline upgrade of old Backup Exec 2012 to Backup Exec 15 ?
Hi,
Is there anything that I need to know when performing the inline upgrade of Backup Exec 2012 to Backup Exec 15 inline ?
The existing database of Backup Exec 2012 SP4 is on SQL_Server_Expres...
Not sure what version of SQL is being used by BE 15, but rest assured that any upgrade would be taken care off.
BE 15 uses SQL 2008 R2 SP2 for its default SQL instance and the upgrade installer will upgrade the SQL instance from 2005 to this version.
If you want to use SQL 2012, then you'll have to manually upgrade the SQL instance. And you'll have to check with the 3rd party application if the SQL upgrade will cause any issues or not as the SQl 2005 existing files will be upgraded.
The DB will be automatically upgraded to the version of SQL shipped with BE 15 which is SQL 2008 R2 SP2, not SQL 2012.
The DB outside of BE will not be deleted.
