I skip the survey as I want to get a backup going. Which is not a live message since I did before I started the install. Once it finishes, it offers to run LiveUpdate (wow does that bring back memories) and to display the Readme.

#Backup exec 2015 install

Now we have a summary and I really like how there is a copy of what is going to be install stored in the BE logs folder. Here we define the service account that BE will run under.įrom my reading, it seems to be almost a best practice to use the local SQL express instance rather then an external SQL server. In my case here drive G is where I am going to put a repository for backups.

Sometimes I will use a different drive but same path structure to help have no issues. Language choice is easy but I am impressed at the choice.ĭefault path and folder structure is good for me and generally worth doing. Although many of the customers I did BE for in my old PS days would be very well served for that amount of functionality! My ideal set of options is around 4700 CAD and that is just crazy for my needs.

#Backup exec 2015 license

With my license there is not much selected, and I do not want to try any of the trails.

I wonder if my license is somehow impacting it?

#Backup exec 2015 trial

We could use the drop-down field that shows Backup Exec right now and use Trial and it would let us install a bunch of different options that have 60 day licenses – or at least it should and has before but currently will not. In my case, the license I applied was a relatively inexpensive one that really has nothing extra so we don’t see much above. Nice to see we pass it the same as before! And I am a big believer in send the anonymous information as I know they can really help developers and support organizations.Īnother check. I also like to see an obvious option to install the console. I like to see default of Local but option of remote. Sometimes there is interesting stuff or more info.Ī number of interesting things here. I do like to use Custom Installation when I can as I like to see options. Actually, I read none of it – does anyone?! Once we start – by pressing Backup Exec as we see above we will see the following where Symantec is verifying the install files – nice to see actually.Īfter this completes we see the start of the wizard.Īnd as you might expect, I read and understand the whole EULA and continue. We start at browser.exe screen where we started before. I think it worth keeping the results just in case you need to talk to support at some point. Plus I can install this later if necessary. Pretty handy but I am not doing DR so no big deal.

Microsoft Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) – not installed and is important to do DR – such as created a simplified DR disk or image.

We see what is going to be done and we continue. We are interested in the Pre-installation option.Īnd yes, we are working with Backup Exec. Once you click on browser.exe you will start things up and be at a menu like below. Once in the BE folder structure we will use browser.exe to start things off. We will start from the location where you downloaded BE to and extracted. This is handy to run to make sure your environment is up to task. It should be domain users, and local admin. I will be backing up approximately 30 virtual machines and I will see how the 400 GB works.

I added a 400 GB extra hard disk to my BE machine to use as a repository.

Don’t install to a drive that has dedupe or ReFS enabled.

A Windows 2012 R2 server – a virtual machine in my lab, and part of the domain and fully patched.

I am using BE 2014 SP1 as part of this article.

Bits – you should be able to get them from a link when you purchase.

When you buy BE you get a license certificate emailed to you with Support ID which is important, but it is better if you have the *.slf which means you can import rather then type.

Here is a link to the Tuning and Performance Guide for BE.

Documents (not that we really read them or anything) – Backup Exec (BE) tech support home, Admin Guide, Release notes and the compatibility guide.
