Backup Exec 20.3 Ala Carte License Update to Simple Licensing Backup Exec
Hello Experts, First of all, I am going to give you brief information related to my scenario. I have Backup Exec 20.3 on windows supporting 5 windows server with Ala Carte License. I want to buy Simple License Core Pack to change my Existing "Ala Carte license". My problem is, The current Backup Exec Server version is only 20.3 and the Backup Exec Simple License is featured on Backup Exec 22.2 My Plan is to Install new Backup Exec Server with Version 22.2 and activate the Simple License Core Pack then restore the Catalog of the old Backup Exec . Is this Possible? Hoping to receive clarification or different approach for this matter Thanks you in Advance.

Cataloging old media
I was trying to restore some files from an external USB Drive that is no longer in the Backup Exec database. So I was going to do an Inventory and Catalog. It was my understanding (from a similar issue a fwe weeks ago) that I had to configure the Storage Media when I plugged in the Drive (otherwise the drive is read as Drive 0001 or something generic). Once I configured the drive, all my data was wiped out. So, two questions, 1.) can I "undelete" my bkf files (i can still see them in several different undelete programs including NTFSUndelete in linux) and 2.) what is the proper method for re-instating old backup media?
