Thanks, I understand they're not compatible but what are my options? &nbsp;Can I upgrade the Remote Agent to 12.5 or do I have to upgrade BackupExec to 12.5 as well?

Hi <br />
I have Backupexec 12.0 running on Server 2003 Standard 32 bit. &nbsp; I added a member server running Server 2008 R2 Standard which is doing file services. &nbsp;I need to backup the files on the 2008 box.<br />
<br />
I tried running RAWSX64 setup.exe and get &quot;This program is blocked due to compatibility issues&quot;. &nbsp;I click &quot;Check for solutions online&quot; and &quot;No solutions found for BackupExec Symantec&quot;.<br />
<br />
What can I do to get the 2008 server backed up? &nbsp;If I need to buy an updated version of Remote Agent, let me know that too. &nbsp;I'd hate to have to buy a whole new version of BackupExec, but let me know what you think. &nbsp;Thanks.

Symantec Backupexec 12.0 compatibility issues with Server 2008 R2 Standard

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.

Storage Software

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
