If the Catalogs have been saved also, rename the Catalogs to Catalogs.old, then copy/move the saved catalogs under Backup Exec. This will be bedb_dat.mdf and bedb_log.ldf files.ĥ. Copy the saved Database from the previous BE version into the Backup Exec\Data folder. Rename the "Copy of Data" to "Data-‘TodaysDate’ or "Data-Version#-New"Ĥ. Copy the Data folder and paste it in the same location. Open the \Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec Directory. Stop the all Backup Exec services (including the SQL(BKUPEXEC) service)ģ. Confirm BE is working in its current database first.Ģ.
The Backup Exec Server Free Option is installed.The Backup Exec Shared Storage Option (SSO) is installed.ldf files are from an older version of Backup Exec installed on a different server then please do not follow the procedure below if any of the following are true:
#Bemig backup exec upgrade
This tool follows the same upgrade version rules that the BE installer has. If that fails to occur or a saved database from a previous BE version needs to be added to a newer BE version, the BEMIG tool can be used. The recommended upgrade method is to allow the Backup Exec (BE) installer upgrade BE and its database during the installation. Need to manually upgrade Backup Exec from a previous version.
