New vCenter Server

Hi

We use the Backup Exec VMware Agent to backup the virtual Machines ("over vCenter Server"). Now we would like to migrate to vCenter 6.5. For that we will do a new vCenter Server, then migrate the ESXi Hosts to this vCenter. How does this work with Backup Exec? Can i continue the current backups or do I have to do new Full-Backups of the VMs?

Regards, Simon

You would have to add the new vCentre server as a new VMWare server and then create new VM backup jobs using this new server.  You cannot use your old jobs which use the old server as the source.

thanks for your answer, so I have to do a new Full-Backup? Or will the Agent inside the VM help?

For new jobs, you definitely need a full backup to start things off.

The remote agent has nothing to do with whether you do a full backup or not
