[BTSKE]

Hi, our current environment consist of windows 2003 servers, exchange 2003 sql 2005 servers, and backup exec 12.0

We are rolling out to Win 2008 R2 64 bit, exchange 2010, SQL 2008.

Will my BE 12.0 support these?

Hi what of SQL 2008, will BE 12.0 support SQL 2008?

Also, my entire new platform will be 64 bit.

BE12.0 does not support SQL 2008, BE12.5 and above supports SQL 2008.

If you are going to run SQL 2008 R2, then you will need BE 2010 R2.
