It sounds like your backup history was corrupted during the upgrade. In order to fix this, the job history and backup jobs will need to be deleted and recreated.
1. Stop the Backup Exec System Recovery service
2. Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Backup Exec System Recovery\ and delete all .PQH files in the "History" folder and all .PQJ files in the "Schedule" folder.
4. Rename the folders containing the backups, adding _OLD to the end.
5. Start the BESR service
6. Setup your backup jobs with desired configuration and storage locations
7. Let jobs run.
Make sure that you rename all backup folders to ensure that you don't overwrite previous backups. This will break all links to the older backups and they will have to be deleted manually if you would like to have them deleted, BESR will not be able to see them or delete them automatically.
