iSCSI for TL-Series Tape Libraries
SEPTEMBER 2008
Windows Servers it is recommended that you run the Backup Exec Environment Check on the
system which is planned to contain the Backup Exec installation.
The Backup Exec Environment Check is included with the installation media. The Environment
Check analyzes the computer to make sure that the installation process can complete. If
Backup Exec finds configuration issues that can be fixed during the installation, or that may
prevent the installation, warnings will appear. Although the Environment Check runs automati-
cally during installation, it is recommended that it be run manually before installing Backup
Exec or before starting to back up data with Backup Exec.
Figure 17: Environment Check Screen
Once the Environment Check has passed, the Backup Exec installation can begin by selecting
"Start the Backup Exec Installation" found on the installation CD Browser. The Installation
Wizard will walk through initial configuration settings about the installation and then arrive at
the licensing screen. On this screen, input a license key for Backup Exec for Windows and
each Backup Exec Agent or Option that is required for your environment. The license key
information can be found on the Software license card that comes with your CD kit at time of
purchase.
For our example network, the following Symantec Backup Exec packages would be needed:
•
Symantec Backup Exec Multi-Server Suite which provides a complete backup solution for
one Windows backup server and agents to perform scheduled and continuous protection
of 3 Windows servers.
•
Symantec Backup Exec Application Protection Add-on Pack which provides complete
protection for two applications.
•
Symantec Backup Exec Library Expansion Add-on Pack which allows for the use of two
additional tape drives in a tape library with an existing Backup Exec 12.0 for Windows
Media Server.
The backup environment easily scales with your backup needs. Additional Backup Servers
can be added with the purchase of new Symantec Backup Exec Multi-Server Suites. Syman-
tec Backup Exec Windows Remote Server Add-on Pack provides the ability to protect two
additional remote Windows Servers and twenty Windows desktop and laptops. NetWare,
Linux and UNIX Servers can also be protected with the addition of Symantec Backup Exec
NetWare, Linux & UNIX Remote Server Add-on Pack. Symantec Exec can also scale to a
SAN environment with the addition of the Symantec Backup Exec SAN-based Server Suite.
