SBS or Windows version required?

I have a client with 1 SBS 2003 Standard server, and 1 Windows 2003 Standard R2 server.  The R2 server has a tape drive connected, and it is on that server that I would like to install BackupExec - to cover both servers.

 

Which version of BackupExec should I be looking at - Windows or SBS version?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

Since the SBS server is the server that you will be backing up to, you will need the SBS version of BE....the only thing you need to know is if you need the STD edition or the PREM

 

 

 

Difference being the PREM covers both SQL and exchange on the SBS server (the ones that are included with the OS) and the STD only covers exchange

Actually, I was backing up to the Windows (not SBS) server.  I have been told I need the standard Windows version with relevant Exchange/SQL agents.
