Backup exec 2010 for SBS 2008 preinstall SQL warning

[Astier]

Hello,

The preinstall warns me that an older version of SQL has been detected that can't be used:

• !  for SBS Monitoring, version 2005 sp2.
• X for Microsoft ##SSEE

We're on a French standard 2008 SBS server.

What should I install or manually upgrade (Windows update stating all is clear)  ?

Thanks for your kind help,

Jean-Jacques

Hi there,

If that older SQL version is for an older version of Backup Exec, allow the installation to continue as per normal.
If it hosts other applications however, I would find out whether or not those applications support the version of SQL that will be installed...

Hi Craig,

I've not been precise enough:

It is a fresh install of SBS2008 and a fresh install of Backup exec, none before, no migration etc.

I should have translated preinstall Backup exec warning as this : SQL server 2005 sp2 has been detected. It is a too old version for Backup exec 2010. Choose to install a new instance of SQL Express or choose an existing instance of SQL Server 2005 (sp3 or higher) or of SQL Server 2008 during installation.

In SBS 2008 I know SQL Express is used by SharePoint Services and wish to preserve this.

Thanks for any info,

Jean-Jacques
