Sorry,
 
W2K8 requires BackupExec v12

Will a 12.5 agent for Windows Server work with V9.1 on the backup server?

Again, sorry, no

 

You can go down version with the Agent a version or two (tho it is not officially supported) but you cannot go up version on the Agent

 

If the budget really won't support v12, have you considered using NTBackup on the W2K8 machine to USB/eSATA hard drives?

Ken,

 

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, this new 2008 installation is our new data server, with over 8TB of hard drive space, so an external drive will not work.

What is the oldest version of Agent that will work with Server08?

 

Thanks,

v12.0 is the first version to suppport W2K8
