Group,
I am trying to determine if BE 2014 will do GRT backups of Exchange 2010 and also Exchange 2013.
Current environment:
Older server hardware to be retired later in the year.
Backup Exec 2012 v-ray edition / deduplication folder.
Exchange 2010 with GRT backups.
We have a current Sym support contract and I have the codes to install BE 2014.
Future environment:
New server, yet to be purchased.
Backup Exec 2014 v-ray edition / deduplication folder.
Exchange 2010 with GRT backups.
Exchange 2013 with GRT backups (after we build a new server and migrate to Exchange 2013).
The above SCL says this:
“To run Exchange 2010, the Backup Exec server must run on Windows 2008 SP2 or on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 computer on which the Exchange 2010 Management tools are installed.”
That means (to me) that I need 2008 on the new Backup Exec media server, not 2012. But elsewhere in the above SCL I will need 2012 on the media server and a domain controller to do GRT of Active Directory.
So should I put 2008R2 or 2012R12 on the new server, yet to be purchased?
Thanks all!
