Trial download

Hi there,

If we still have active Maintenance license / subscription active, can we get the free upgrade next year sometimes from BE 12.5 into BE 2010 ?

Thanks.

Hello Albert -

If your BE 12.5 maintenance is active when BE 2010 ships, then you are entitled to the new version.

Beta Length

I just installed the Beta, which is listed as a trial, I installed it today and it says I have 155 days left.

How long is the beta for? Is it a timed beta, 155 days, or is it set to expire on a particular date?

Will the real version be available before the trial is up?

Thanks,

Roger D. Fontaine

155 days...so it will expire

155 days...so it will expire 155 days from now, and I assume the final product will be out long before then.

If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.

Separate purchase for Dedupe Option ?

OK, great.

So in this case it seems that the Dedupe option is a separate option to install (and buy), therefore I can just get that option as new purchase.

I heard that February 2010 is the release date for this product, can't wait for that time to come.

Cheers.

Hi All,

Does Backup Exec 2010 will also supports ESXi 4 backup using vStorage API ? or just the traditional VCB backup as it was before ?

Thanks.

It's supposed to eliminate

It's supposed to eliminate VCB and use the new backup API's, utilizing all the new bells and whistles in vSphere4.

There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."

Puredisk integration

I have installed the BETA successfully, but the documentation is a little sketchy on how to setup BE 2010 to connect to a Puredisk SPA for offsite backup. Is this feature available in the BETA? If so, is there any other documentation other than the Admin guide that I can use to get this setup?

Did anyone get any rewards

Did anyone get any rewards for this? Nothing has been posted so we don't know who to congratulate.
Any further steps taken to reward people outside of the USA with points etc?
