English Translation: I am trying to move my backupExec 12.0 from Windows 2000 server to windows 2008 Server R2, but I can't, it is sending a message of incompatibility with windows 2008, but I searched help before in the symantec link and there say that it is compatible with windows 2008.

Can somebody help me please??

Here you can find the SCL (software Compatiblity List) of backup exec 12.0

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH56442

As you see Windows 2008 IS listed, but Windows 2008R2 is another Operating System (fully 64bit) and it is not listed.

The first version that supports Windows 2008R2 is Backup Exec 12.5.

Unfortunately you cannot use the BE 12.0 license keys in BE 12.5.

Thank you, I will try with windows 2008 only without R2.

BE 2010 onwards fully supports Windows 2008 R2 as a media server, whereas BE 12.5 provides only limited support (which is RAWS support for Windows 2008 R2.)

Since, you are planning to move your media server to Win 2008 R2, would suggest to install BE 2010 R2.
