Hello,

i have a running win 2008 server with installed Backup Exec 2010 R3 and a Windows Server 2016 standard with installed Backup exec 16 FP2. I´m not able to install on the old server BE15 and than BE16. I want do migrate directly catalogs and DB to the new Win 2016 server with Backup Exec 16. How can i do this ?? What are the steps ??

Hi Raimar,

Have you checked out the BE 16 SCL? It states, under the Backup Exec Upgrade Compatibility section, that a direct upgrade from BE 2010 R3 is possibl. Furthermore, it does support being installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.

This would be your best bet. Upgrade the BE 2010 R3 media server to BE 16, and THEN migrate to the new server.

Thanks!

Thx for provided information.. but i always get the error message that the service account doesn´t match. But it is the same. Thats for shure

OK, well that's new. What is the exact error? Have you made sure the account isn't locked out? Is it a domain admin account?
