Hi!

 

Do we need to download both 1180 and FP1 to install BE 2015? What is the difference?

 

Thanks.

The reason both are available from fileconnect is that as some functionality has been discontinued (Archive Option for instance) you should not go to FP1 is you are using one of the discontinued options. However if you are performing a new install or not using discontinued parts of the product that just download the FP1 slipsteamed/included build

Extra info there is a section on Features or requirements no longer supported by "Backup Exec 15 Feature Pack 1" in the readme

I need to upgrade 14 to 15. Is it ok to install FP1?

Yes as long as you aren't using one of the BE 15 FP1 discontinued options in  your current BE 2014 setup 

if you are currently backing up any older operating system or database technologies, you should also check the SCL just in case.
