Migrating Backup Exec 11d (7170) DLO to new server running Backup Exec 2010 R3 DLO.

Hi Everyone, I need some help please on how to migrate Backup Exec DLO which is currently running on 11d. The new server is running BE 2010 R3 (64-bit). I've searched for documents that may help but can't find the appropriate ones, they all seem to relate to the same versions of BE, or something similar, not new versions & new server. 

Firstly I'm hoping it's possible and that somebody can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in anticipation

    Hi

    Till Backup exec 2010 DLO is part of backup exec as an additional option so you cannot keep backupexec out of equation in this case ,from BE2012 onwards Backup exec and DLO are considered as two sepearte products as BE2012 and one as DLO7 so ,if you plan to move DLO from one server to other then above link would help you but you can't rule out backup exec in this process.

    Hope that helps

     

    Thanks

    Hi Sameer,

    Thank you but doesn't that document say both servers have to be running the same version of Backup Exec. Which would mean I would have to upgrade to 2010 first. I am trying to avoid that if at all possible.
