Hello all,

our Backup Server witth windows 2008 must be reinstalled to Windows Server 2016 R2. I don´t want to recreate all settings, Jobs etc. What steps i have to do, to use all the configured settings after reinstallation of the Server ? Which Data i have to save to don´t loose everything ?

There is no Server 2016 R2. Do you mean 2012 R2 or 2016?

Either way, can you use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to back up the BEDB database and then restore it after you have upgraded? I believe the SQL version is 2014 for BE 20

Have a look at this TN:

How to migrate Backup Exec to another server with a different Windows OS version.

Since the same server will be re-installed, you will need to perform the 'old server' steps first. Copy all data to a network share or USB drive.
