I chose the option to install a Backup Exec server. Then a splash screen appears which loads/processes files, post which the EULA appears.
Now, I choose the option of local installation and the environment check runs. Post this one gets the option to add licenses/options. Then one has to enter the credentials and the install path. I get a screen to acknowledge the summary and the DB is backed up. Migration starts.
Once the migration completes, i get an option to view the migration report in a browser. Here, if i chose to cancel, the process rolls back. And if choose to acknowledge yes, the upgrade continues and completes.

The Environment Check MAY do the check, but I havent seen anything that advises you when doing an upgrade:

To add...BE will change, add or keep your existing jobs...what you're looking for is the Migration Report:

...well, it would make sense to have it at the beginning of the job, and if it doesn't exist, try adding this as an Idea in that section:

Well, during the upgrade process you can view the migration report. Only when you acknowledge this report, does the upgrade continue, else not.

Verbatim from the TN I posted:
"Symantec recommends that you review the Migration Report thoroughly to determine how your existing jobs have changed and how you may need to adjust your jobs manually. The Migration Report is available for viewing from the Backup Exec Administration Console or the Home tab at any time after the migration completes."
This implies that the upgrade will have to complete before viewing the report. If the TN is incorrect, then it needs to be ammended.
Thanks!

Verbatim from the Admin Guide:-
After the migration completes, Backup Exec displays the Migration Report that you must review and acknowledge before Backup Exec continues the upgrade process.
And just tested an upgrade. During the upgrade, I got to view the migration report and the upgrade continued only i chose to acknowledge it else i could cancel the upgrade.
