Upgrading from previous versions of Backup Exec
This version of Backup Exec for Windows Servers replaces any previous versions. No separate migration or upgrade utility is necessary. Most settings and all catalogs and data directories from previous versions of Backup Exec are kept (for example, when the TSM option adds registry settings). At the end of the installation, the upgrade process is summarized. Only Backup Exec version 9.x and later can be migrated to this release.
The new version of Backup Exec for Windows Servers (including the Evaluation version) replaces any current installation. Separate installations of different versions cannot exist on the same computer.
