New Release: Symantec System Recovery 2011

i can not find on file connect?

Hi,

We checked fileconnect and we can confirm that the software is available for download. If you are on maintenance you should have received a version upgrade notification yesterday with a new serial number. You must use the new serial number to access SSR 2011. If you are using your previous serial number, that will continue to take you to the previous version.

If you did not receive you upgrade notification email please follow the instructions below.

Request Your Symantec System Recovery 2011 Version Upgrade Notification Email

To receive your Symantec System Recovery 2011 Software Version Upgrade Notification, please send an email to: license@symantec.com with the following subject line: Online SSR 2011 VU Request.

We have a valid EndPoint Protection suite maintenance contract, have we right to upgrade it?

Hi Christian,

Yes, you are certainly entitled to an upgrade. You will be able to download Symantec System Recovery (SSR) from fileconnect from Thursday onwards, which is when the SSR license keys will be posted for those customers who have today BESR as part of a bundled solution.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks, Kate

The hyperlink at the bottom of this page to the video "Downtime Mitigation Management with Symantec" is incorrect.

Cheerz!

I did the above mentioned Online SSR 2011 VU Request

And was shocked

The request opened a case for review

Your question has been received. You should expect a response from us within one to two business days

The next day I did get a response

“Thank you for contacting Symantec Customer Business Operations. We completed our research and are providing the information.

The upgrade information to SSR 2011 which is bundled with your SPS EE 3.0 license is not posted yet in fileconnect. It will be posted in Fileconnect website on April 07, 2011. You may access https://fileconnect.symantec.comon April 07, 2011 using the serial number for your SPS EE 3.0 license which is M######### to download SSR 2011.”

Ware is the promised Email?

They set all this up screen shots of the email and explain it all out and when you try to follow there procedure every thing is changed?

And you can get it in a few days

Now I feel bad as I told others to follow want Symantec told me to do and its wrong

Thanks

You know how to build “Confidence in a connected world”

On or about this coming Thursday, April 7th, Symantec System Recovery 2011 will be posted to File Connect. At that time, you will be able to login to File Connect to download the software using your current “M” serial number tied to the license for one of the Symantec Protection Suites mentioned below.

·         Symantec Protection Suite Enterprise Edition 3.0 – Includes Desktop Only

·         Symantec Protection Suite Small Business Edition 3.0 – Includes Desktop Only

·         Symantec Protection Suite Advanced Business Edition 3.0 – Includes Both Desktop and Server

There will be not be an official communication. And no notification email will be sent. The official communication will happen when the suite upgrades. ( not sure with the exact date)

Hi Linas,

There are two upgrade processes depending on whether you purchased BESR as a standalone offering or through a bundled offering. The information I gave you pertained to customers that purchased BESR as a standalone offering.

Customers who purchased a solution which included BESR as a component will receive a upgrade notification email when the main product has a new release. However, we wanted to provide those customers with the ability to upgrade BESR as close as possible to the launch of SSR. Therefore, the SSR files will be available from fileconnect on Thursday April 7th - just a few days after the release of SSR. We have posted a README file with instructions and an offline/generic license key for SSR (on the SPS FileConnect pages) so that customers who purchased the bundle can use SSR 2011 without waiting for the version upgrade.

I do hope this additional information helps.

System Recovery 2011 Management Solution will not install on Server 2008 R2 x64 SP1. Great!

Well, it isn't listed as a supported OS on the System Requirements, so this is no surprise. SP 1 was released on Feb 22nd so that is well past the cut off point for inclusion in the product.

No doubt the engineering teams are busy working on an update to allow this, as by now a lot of businesses will be finding out they cant upgrade to SSR2011, as they have already deployed SP1.

Cheers

Andy

I understand, you need to draw the line somewhere. With that said, I hope that Symantec has a new build out very very soon. I am a bit concerned as it took them this long to support Server 2008 from the previous version 8.5. That was very painful.

Thanks,

Niles

Hi Niles,

I can confirm that we are working extremely diligently to get SP1 added to the list of supported platforms.

Thanks, Kate

We had the Backup Exec 2010 installed and we created unique recovery disks for each computer.  Will those disks still work with Recovery 2011?  or do we need to re-create the disks now that 2011 is installed?

Reindl,

Yes, I don't see any reason why the SRDs for 2010 wont work with SSR 2011. Having said that, it's always recommended to use the most recent version/build to take advantage of the latest features and bug fixes.

Hi.

Having a Backup Exec SBS 2010 R2 License (With System Recovery for the Server),
can we use the new System Recovery 2011 on the Server with the "old" License?

Thanks!

best regards
Danny

In terms of license activation, SSR 2011 is not backwards compatible to 2010 or old versions.

Hi All

We have several clients running on Microsoft Small Business server 2011 and BackupExec 2010 R3.With the BE license  our clients received the licenses for BESR 2010.Since BESR is replaced with SRSE,

1.Is SBS 2011 supported in SRSE ?

2.Can we use the same license keys to install SRSE?If so from where can we download this?Should we download a trial version and use the license key or  does this needs to be downloaded from symantec fileconnect?

Thanks

Dhanushka

Yes, SBS 2011 is supported with SSR 2011. Please see the SCL for more info:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157280

License keys for BESR 2010 will not work with SSR 2011.

You can download from either FileConnect or:

http://www.symantec.com/business/theme.jsp?themeid...

Thanks chris but this will not us do any good since we only have keys for BESR 2010...Tough Luck

I double checked this and SBS 2011 is supported with BESR 2010 SP3 (you must be on SP3 level).

2010 SP3 = 9.0.3

Aha...this is indeed good news.

Do you know if its possible to download BESR 2010 any more?If the answer is yes please let me know how to.

Thanks

Dhanushka

Best place is FileConnect:

https://fileconnect.symantec.com/

After the update with SEP12 Beta and the uninstallation, the SR2011 became corrupted. Is there a uninstallation program or document to assist with uninstallation. 

Thanks a bunch chris, will check it out.
