Symantec Backup Exec & Symantec System Recovery 2013 Compatibility

I currently have a NAS Server (Windows Storage Server 2012 64 bit).  I would like to backup data (Files/Folders) from this Server to a Dell TL2000 Tape Backup.  I currently have Symantec System Recovery 2013 installed on this Server to perform periodic Image backups of the Operating System Partition.  I found out that Symantec System Recovery 2013 does not support backing up files/folders to a Tape Backup.  I have seen statements that Symantec Backup Exec does support backing up files/folders to a Dell TL2000 Tape Backup.

 

Questions:

 

1.  Are there any compatiblity issues (conflicts) with having both Symantec Backup Exec and Symantec System Recovery 2013 installed and running on the same Server?

 

2.  Does Symantec Backup Exec have good compatibility with backing up files/folders to a Dell TL2000 Tape Backup?  If yes, which version of Symantec Backup Exec is recommended?

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

  • It was found out that the reason that I could not connect to the Dell TL2000 using iSCSI Initiator is that I failed to install the data cable between the Dell TL2000 chassis and the newly installed iSCSI card.

     

    Symantec Backup Exec 2014 can now see the Dell TL2000.
