Does Backup Exec 12.5 work with Windows Server 2008 R2?

v12.5 with a HF will backup a remote W2K8 R2 system

To put your media server on an R2 machine, you will need to upgrade to BackupExec 2010

What is HF?

HF refers to Hot Fix.  Run LiveUpdate on your media server and this will download then install all the needed hotfixes to support Windows Server 2008 R2.
This technote covers the support for R2 with BE 12.5 http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/335868.htm
