Backup Exec 2010 R3 upgarde from SP3 to SP4

Level 3

Scenario;

Backup Exec 2010 R3 media server upgrade from SP3 to SP4

Agents upgraded to SP4 w/o reboot.

Just enquiring whether agent communication will stop if servers are left unrebooted until maintenance window is available for reboot as it will be difficult to reboot servers on the day of the upgarde.

Also will this effect the backup technology as to what was being backed up will hault selectively in case communication will be directly to server and may not pass through agent when reboot is required but not done ?

Thanks ... Riccardo

Hi,

 

No they won't but any pending changes require a reboot, and it is always recommended to do so.

You can wait for the reboot, and backups should continue.

Thanks!

Without a reboot, the update may not be complete. If you do a backup, you might get funny results which will force you to reboot anyway. The upgraded version will work with the older agents. It is better to delay the agent upgrade until you can reboot the remote server immediately after the agent upgrade
