We have a W2k3 workgroup server with BackupExec 9.1 already installed and backing up the server to tape. My question is I have Symantec System Recovery 2010 and would like to install this on the server also and schedule a monthly disk-based backup across our network in the image format used. Are there any co-existence issues with the two?
The server is also running SQL Server 2000.
Backup Exec 9.1 is End of Life and End of Support. It uses the Symantec VSP (VERITAS snapshot Provider) to take a snapshot and BESR 2010 uses Symantec Symsnap VSS provider. Both this technologies are different, however, it would be a good idea to run the backups separately so that they don't conflict.
I would rather suggest to use the BESR as it is capable of doing Bare Metal Restore and also it can be used to restore individual files and folders.
both softwares can co-exist , Ensure that Both backup solutions Should not Trigger a job simultaneously .
