Upgrading to Backup Exec v15 FP3

CCWW

Currenly have Backup Exec v15 FP1 installed. I've loaded the ISO for FP3 on the server and when I run the install I get the option to install/add features, repair or uninstall. When I do the install option it runs but doesn't actually do the upgrade to FP3. It stays as FP1. Is there something special I need to do to perform an upgrade?

What you have is the BE installation DVD with FP3 slip-streamed in.  You can only use this to do a new installation and not to upgrade an existing installation.

Instead of upgrading to FP3 you should upgrade to FP5 which is the latest FP.  See below on how to download FP5

Try logging into the server using local Admin account(recommended for installation).

Try this link to patch the FP5 Upgrade.

Restart the server, check the version. Hope this helps!
