What are the steps to update BE if the operating system is updated ?
Hello everyone,
We have a client with Backup Exec 2012 R3 in 6 different sites. The environment is Windows Server 2003/2008 R2, but this migrating different servers to Windows 2012 R2.
As we all know , if we have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with the role of AD , we have a Media Server BE 2014 on a similar server.
Given that managers of this company is not going to make the upgrade windows operating system on which is in production (Windows 2008 R2 ), my query is:
What would be the recommended way to update the Media Server BE 2010 BE 2014 R3 to practice?
My idea is :
- Make a normal upgrade from BE 2012 to BE 2014 R3 .
- Make a backup of the database ( BEDB ) and catalogs . Protect them off the server .
- Make new install the operating system to Windows 2012 R2.
- Install BE 2014 with a new installation .
- Import the database and catalogs of point 2 ) to the new environment BE.
I 'm right ? Anyone know or has the correct procedure ?
Ideas and experiences are heard !
Thank you very much !
Your steps should work. Please use this document as a reference: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH67768 and make sure you make a copy of the Data and Catalog directory under the Backup Exec installation directory first.,
as described in step II. Move Backup Exec data to a temporary location.
