Migrating to new hardware with a backup?

Asked by LZ1 in SBS Small Business Server, Computer Servers

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, Small Business Server SBS 2003, Migration

Hey Experts!!!!
I am doing my first migration of an SBS 2003 to brand new hardware with the same OS.  I was wondering if by using Symantec Backup Exec, if I would be able to do a tape backup of everything on the existing server and then restore it on the new one?  

I have purchased the SwingIT from www.sbsmigration.com, but I was just trying to cut corners.  (which i know your not supposed to do, so you guys can save the slacker remarks)
