BE 8.5 and Windows 2003 1

packdragon · May 20, 2004

We recently moved from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 (a completely different box, not an in-place upgrade). Will I be able to use Backup Exec 8.5 to back up Windows 2003 as well as Exchange 2003? It's been so long since I worked on version 8.5 I can barely remember how to install the remote agent. I've been Googling for information but haven't found anything that shed any light yet. Any pointers while I continue my search?

Backup Exec 8.5 or 8.6 is not supported with Windows 2003 anything. Backup Exec 9.x is the ONLY version that support Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003. You will need and Exchange 2000/2003 remote agent as well.

So here are your links:
