Hello,

My 2 DELL PowerEdge 4600 servers that were running 2000 Advanced Server just crashed and i'm wondering what version of Backup Exec can I install on two other servers that are now running 2003 and 2008 server?  I need to get the information from the backup tapes that were made so i'm in desperate need of suggestions. 

My plan is to copy the data via a scsi adapter and attach the tape drive to the server running Server 2008 so that I can get the information.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

hi Roses44,

What software was used to run the backups on the tapes from the Windows 2000 Advanced Server?  

What types of files are you wanting to restore?

 If you were using  Backup Exec 12.5 previously,  Backup Exec 2010R3 will support Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 servers.  See here for the downloads: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH66724   . also to keep the data integrity you should inventory and catalog the tapes and then run a restore instead of copying the data over. 

make sure the tape drive is on the HCL  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH205797
