SBS Recover,licensing and upgrade
Hi, I've a SBS2003 server, with BackupExec 10.1d for SBS loaded by Dell before shipping. The SBS server started life with just an internal DLT drive and I've recently just added a new Robotic unit...
Forum Discussion
will BackupExec continue to function until I can sort it? Or will it stop working at some point?
Should continue to work. You will need an LEO (Library Expansion Option) if you library contains two drives. The library itself and the first drive are covered by the base media server license
So I'm wondering, when it comes to recovering, say after a fire and I've purchased new kit, how do I recover the server?
See the Admin Guide http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/279401.htm under Disaster Recovery
Will BackupExec care about that? It effectively turns the SBS server into a "normal" 2003 server with Exchange and no limits. But will the licensing of BackupExec need to change?
I've never come across this, but would think so, since BackupExec SBS can only be installed on an SBS OS
is there an upgrade path? (I'm guessing yes..
Certainly. Just install on top of the old code
