Hi

I need advice how to move backup exec 2015 FP3 from windows 2008R2 to new server with windows 2012R2 and with new servername. I have installed backup exec 2015 FP3 on the new server.

 

I have read this https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH129826 (How to migrate Backup Exec to another server with a different Windows OS version.)

and

I haver read this https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH67296 (How to migrate / move Backup Exec from one version to another on a different server with a differentserver name)

 

None of the articles match my case with different Windows OS verion and different servername.

 

Has anyone out there any solution how I should do?

You need to follow the procedure in the second document that you referenced. Due to the numerous documents, the products of each documents are often not updated

Irrespective of the command you are running for the rename, I hope you have exported the DEK from the old server as you will need it on the new server.

BTW I think NEWSERVERNAME needs ot be surround by characters in the command
