Here's my current environment: BE 10.0 sp1 on Windows 2003, using a MSDE 2000 database. Server is also a SQL server, initally running SQL 2000, now running production SQL 2005 (after having several CTP versions loaded and unloaded.
Backup Exec runs fine through all this, aside from the fact that I can't apply Hotfix 25 or sp3, which may or may not be related. Msi rolls back the installation.
I'm now looking at updating the environment to be able to backup SQL2005 databases. Obviously, I'll have to upgrade to 10.1d and apply Hotfix 6.
I have read that 10.1d is not supported running on SQL2005.
Is the environment where SQL2005 and MSDE 2000 are living side-by-side supported?
Or are my only options either taking MSSQL entirely off this box or falling back to SQL 2000?
Thanks.
