Problem
How to perform migration of Backup Exec from one version to another on different server with a different server name.
Solution
1. Install Backup Exec on the new server (Run Live Update to install the latest service pack or hotfixes)
2. On the original (old) media server launch the servicesmgr.exe and 'stop all' the Backup Exec services (default: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec)
a. Stop the 'SQL Server (BKUPEXEC)' Service from the Windows services console as it will stop all other backup exec services.
3. On the original media server, navigate to the installation directory of Backup Exec (default: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec) and Copy the Data and Catalog folder to a temporary location.
4. On the new media server launch the servicesmgr.exe and 'stop all' the Backup Exec services (default: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\)
a. Stop the 'SQL Server (BKUPEXEC)' Service from the Windows services console.
5. On the New Server go to the BE installation directory (default: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec) and rename the Data & Catalog folder with a .old extension.
6. Copy the Data and Catalog folder from the temporary location in step 3 to the BE installation directory of the new media server (default: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec)
7. On the new media server start the 'SQL Server (BKUPEXEC)' Service from the Windows services console
8. Open a command prompt as administrator on the new Backup Server and enter the following;
osql -E -S <new-server-name>\BKUPEXEC (enter)
1>use bedb (enter)
2>go (enter)
1>SELECT partitionname FROM datapartition (enter)
2>go (enter)
*At this point, the old server-name should be listed
1>UPDATE DataPartition SET PartitionName=<'new-server-name'> WHERE PartitionID =0 (enter)
2>Go (enter)
* # of rows affected should be listed
To verify the change took place; run the original commands:
1>SELECT partitionname FROM datapartition (enter)
2>Go (enter)
*At this point the new server-name should be listed
Type quit to exit OSQL
Note: Before proceeding to step 9, please backup the registry on the new media server.
