Hello. I've noticed that they have the Backup Exec 2010 R2 Administrator's Guides and Quick Start Guides up. Does anyone have the official date for the release? I'm waiting for this release to implement Sharepoint 2010 with SQL 2008 R2, and it seems like I'm right in stride, or real close... Anyone?

If you rea the SCL properly, SQL 2008 R2 is not supported by either BE 2010 or BE 2010 R2.  You may have to use SQL 2008 until SQL 2008 R2 is supported.

Do you know if this will just be issued as an update, downloadable via LiveUpdate, or if it will be an Upgrade Notification/File Connect deal?

BE2010 R2 will not be available through Live Update. It is 3.2GB ISO you will have to download through the file connect.

it will be download via fileconnect since this is a new product for BUE and its not an upgrade.

Backup Exec 2010 R2 is capable of protecting SQL 2008 R2.  We recommend anyone in the TAP program for SQL 2008 R2 as well as anyone using trial software of the SQL 2008 CTP to use Backup Exec 2010 R2 to protect their SQL databases.  Once Microsoft makes SQL 2008 R2 Generally Available (GA) we will add this to our SCL.

Thanks!
Billy

*Don't forget to check out support for SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010 SP1 and Mac OSX 10.6 as well!

Hi,

I can find in the documentation that SQL 2008R2 databases can be backupped with BE2010R2.
Can I also use SQL 2008R2 as the BE database server aswell?
