Where's your sense of adventure? :smileyhappy:

Done that in the past, and I'm looking to avoid the frustration this time around, too many projects going on at once!

I am in the same boat. I have a small install of 11d with the server backing up itself and 4 other machines and also am considering the upgrade to 12. However I too am worried about what headaches will arise. I never did upgrade to the second release of 11D as I seen too many people posting about issues with it. With how crappy SEP was and all the problems that arrose from me installing POS, I am almost afriad to try to upgrade to backup exec 12.

 

Has anyone seen any issues with upgrading from 11D to 12?

I hear you on SEP, it was killing my server and the clients I was testing on, so I rolled back to 10.1.5 until they work out the kinks. I like the sound of the features in 12, but I guess I'll wait on testing until I hear more about it. Good luck if you do the upgrade!

I've done 2 upgrades so far without any problems, except that my backup jobs had to be recreated - I only had 2 jobs though.

The big advantages for us were being able to back up to a UNC path and Windows 2008 support. Other than that, the new features aren't relevent yet for my clients.

 

 

 

If you are backing up any Linux / Unix servers stay at Version 11 as the legacy agent no longer works under Version 12 and you will have to buy Linux / Unix agents!!
