Features or requirements no longer supported by Backup Exec
Jobs that contain data from the platforms that are no longer supported are not migrated during a product upgrade. Data from unsupported platforms cannot be backed up or restored from existing backup sets. Additionally, some jobs cannot be migrated automatically because the way in which they are set up in Backup Exec has changed. You can recreate those jobs manually.
For more information about the features and the platforms that are no longer supported in this release or will be retired in a future release, see the Backup Exec Software Compatibility List.
Backup Exec no longer supports the following features or software requirements:
You cannot install Backup Exec Server on Windows Server 2008 and earlier operating systems.
Exchange 2007 and SharePoint 2007
Backup Exec 16 Feature Pack 2 and later does not support ESXi version 5.1 for vSphere.
You cannot use an existing SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 instance as the location of the Backup Exec Database Instance.
