Hi all, a customer of mine needs to upgrade their old BackupExec 9 software. Is it possible to upgrade this to BackupExec version 2010 directly? Or do I need to uninstall the old software first and then install the new version. I looked for a best practice for this, but could not find any. Thanks all.<br />

Upgrade Backup Exec 9 to Backup Exec 2010

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
