Backup Exec 2010 sp2 - 2 questions
FIRST QUESTION:
My company is running SP2 of Backup Exec. Has anyone had any problems upgrading to SP3? It's been out long enough now that I figured the bugs should have been found/worked out by now.
I called Symantec tech support, got transferred 5 times asking the same question - and nobody knew anything...
- If I upgrade to sp3 - will I have to rebuild my backup jobs?
- When I install the newer client on my servers, will they require a reboot?
Due to some "ancient" servers we are still running - we can't upgrade to 2012 at this time - otherwise we would.
SECOND QUESTION
My current version of 2010 sp2 keeps saying that I have 36 servers needing an upgrade - and the directions to do so (Tools -> Install agents and Media servers -> etc). When I try from my BackupExec server however - it cannot find any servers except one - and when it tries to do the 9 updates on THAT server, it just fails. What am I missing?
- My backups to disk work just fine - and the duplicate to tape works just fine.... weird.
THANKS for any help anyone can throw my way.

Hi,
While there might be no known issues, there have been issues during upgrades. Check the forums where these are detailed.
From my side, I've had the BEDB being wiped out during the SQL Express upgrade as McAfee decided to block the installation. During the rollback of the upgrade, the contents of the BEDB were lost.
ISO images get corrupted; AVs causes issues etc, so it does happen.
Thanks!
