Backup Exec 10.0 on 2 servers?

 Hello

At my company we are using Backup exec 10.0 and a tape drive to backup several servers and clients.

Can backup exec be installed on a 2nd server to have a backup solution for the case when Backup server dies? Can it be set up to see the same settings and recovery options like on the recent server? 

We'd like to reach, that in case of any faliure, we only have to connect the Tape drive to the 2nd server and everything works like before, until the original backup server is repaired...

Do you have any documentation about this setup?

Thanks:Miki

Your base serial only allows you to install BackupExec on one server.

That  being said, if the media server dies, you could install the same version to another machine, then recover BackupExec to that machine

See http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/280710.htm

(you wound have to do step three and keep the registry files in a safe place)

Be sure to read the DO NOT USE IF near the top of the document
