I'm upgrading Backup Exec 16 server to BE 20.3 Will the backups run against a Windows 2008 R2 server that has not had the agent upgraded yet. I can squeeze the BR upgrade in during the day mid-week but it's difficult to get a window to reboot the file server after the agent upgrade until Sunday morning. Frequently the agent upgrade requires a reboot.
In prior versions you could run against a downlevel agent, just got warnings.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I've recently updated from BE 2014 to 20.3. The old 2014 agents still work. The jobs finish with exceptions, informing you that the agents are out-of-date.
Best regards

I recently updated from 16 to 20, I pushed out the updated agents straight away but left the reboots for our scheduled Windows updates reboots. All my jobs ran without issue.
