Backup Exec System Recovery version 7.0 and Upgrading OS to Windows 7

Systemates
Not applicable

Currently my OS is Windows XP, which supports Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery server edition, version 7.0; however, I would like to upgrade my OS to Windows 7.

Has anyone else done this? If so, what problems did you run into, and how did you get around them? Is there a patch or something that will make Backup Exec System Recovery server edition version 7.0 work on Windows 7?

Backup Exec System Recovery version 7 will not work on Windows 7. My recommendation would be to upgrade your version of Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR) to the latest version first (version 2010). Doing so will retain your current jobs and other settings. Once done, you can then upgrade the operating system without having any problems with BESR.
