Hi,<br />
<br />
Is it possible to migrate a BackupExec 14 or 15 installation to a new server with a different name and/or domain and keep all the backup history available?<br />
<br />
For example, our plan was to detach the disks where the backup data is located and re-attach them on the new server.<br />
<br />
Once this is done, is there a way to install BckupExec and &quot;import&quot; all the backup history from the original server?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is it possible to migrate a BackupExec 14 or 15 installation to a new server with a different name and/or domain and keep all the backup history available?

For example, our plan was to detach the disks where the backup data is located and re-attach them on the new server.

Once this is done, is there a way to install BckupExec and "import" all the backup history from the original server?

Thanks in advance.

Changing a BackupExec Server without losing anything.

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.
