Remote Agent communication with Backup Exec 12.0

Hi all,

i have a  simple question.

 

Can i install one remote agent for windows server in the version 2010 and the remote agent can communicate with an older version 12.0 and are managed by the version  12.0   12

  • Communication between Backup Exec 12 media server and Backup Exec System recovery 2010 Remote agent. For what? Or  are you asking about BE 12 media server and BE 2010 remote agent? If yes that will not work.

    Regards..

  • You mean to say you want BE2010 media server to communicate with BE12.0 remote agent.

    Well it will work but its always recommended to have remote agent & media server of the 

    version. Also in the backup job you will get exceptions stating that you are using an older

    version of remote agent and the performance will not be upto the mark.

  • From BE 2010 SCL:

    Backup Exec 12 and 12.5 Agents are compatible with 2010 and 2010 R2 Media Servers for the purpose of rolling upgrades only. This configuration is not recommended

    or supported for extended periods. Every effort should be made to get all Backup Exec components to the same version as soon as possible. Please refer to

    <http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/277323> for more details.

    EDIT: If you are planning to use BE 2010 agents with BE 12 or 12.5 media servers, sorry it will not work.

    Regards...
