Hi,
1. Is there a problem when installing Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager with Symantec Backup Exec both co-allocated on the same physical server ?
Answer:
There are no issues to have both of these on same server. Both run perfectly fine with each other.
2. Do I have to adjust the configuration for both of the clients of Symantec Endpoint Protection client and Backup Exec co-allocated together on the same physical client machine ?

Backup Exec uses the following ports for communication 8443, 2638, and 8080. For more information, read the following document:
"What TCP/UDP ports does Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers (including CPS and DLO) and Backup Exec System Recovery use?" at:

To install the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on to a server with Backup Exec, install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to a custom site and port. For more information, read the following document:

Actually, with the latest version of Symantec endpoint protection manger, it would automatically change the port 2638 to something else, if there is backup exec installed on the same server.
Also, by default, it will get installed on a custom HTTP port( 8014).
If, after installing you are not able to log into the Symantec Endpoint protection manager, then you would have to change the port 8443 to something else, like, 8444, or 8440.
To do this:
Go to C:/program files/Symantec/Symantec Endpoint protection manager/Tomcat/Conf, and open the file, server.XML with a notepad. Then Find " 8443", and replace it with 8440.
Save the file, and close it.
Then, go to start-Programs-Symantec Endpoint protection manager-Mgt.Server configuration wizard.
While running this, change port 8443 to 8440, and complete the wizard. Then you should be able to log into SEPM console, without any issues.

Ok,
Thanks for your replies.
However is this applicable for Backup Exec System Recovery too ?
Thanks.
Yes.

The total Backup is 440GB which takes approximately 18hrs to backup.
I think it should take a lot less time. I imagine, in SEP, I should create exclusions for processes and directories which BackupExec uses.
Can you tell me on which executables should I exclude on the media server (which has BackupExec and SEP installed)?
In addition, on the servers which have the agents running, what exclusions should be added?
Thank you.
I`m sorry but I have not tried installing them together yet.
Thanks for your help Prachand and Vishal.
