New Server

[Jonathan_Dost]

I have a SBS 2003 server with BE 10.0 for SBS on it. I am setting up a replacement server running the same OS. How can I preserve the catalog and backup jobs from the old one?

Hello,

Do you want to uninstall Backup Exec from the old server to the new server or only copy the jobs and data folder to the new server keeping the old server online as well?

I will do a fresh installation on the new server. I then want to have my jobs and catalog from the old server available.

Hello,

If you are going for a fresh installation with new serial keys, you can copy the database using the option copy database in the beutility.

It's the same keys. Can't I just copy the catalogs folder or something like that? Is there a document that describes the procedure you recommend? Thanks.
