BE 11d On SQL Server 2005, problem with upgrade to SQL 2008

Hi,

 

I plan to migrate SQL Server 2005 on my servers to 2008. Problem is that my backup server have Backup Exec 11d using SQL 2005 as database.

I don't use any agent to backup my SQL database, so it's ok to migrate to 2008 regarding this.

 

But unfortunately BE 11d does not support SQL 2008 as database (I've read that 12.5 does, but we don't plan to upgrade BE). 

So I'm asking that if it could be possible to reconfigure BE to set it use his own SQL Express instance instead of my SQL Server 2005.

Then I should be able to upgrade my SQL Server 2005 to 2008 without any risk that it impacts BE.

 

Regards,
