For more detailed information about the following installation or configuration
sections, please see the Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers
Administrator’s Guide. This guide is available on the installation CD or in
online help format within Backup Exec. The Administrator’s Guide provides
complete instructions to help you set up and use Backup Exec.
Before you install Backup Exec, you should perform the following tasks:
• Run the Backup Exec Environment Check on the computer on which
you want to install Backup Exec. 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 appear.
Although the Environment Check runs automatically during installation,
you may want to run it manually before you install Backup Exec or
before you back up data with Backup Exec.
• Install the storage device hardware (controller, drives, robotic libraries)
on the media server. Refer to the documentation that is included with
your storage device hardware for installation instructions. Use the
appropriate Windows hardware setup functions to configure your
controller and storage devices. Refer to your Microsoft Windows
documentation for more information.
• Check your Windows security settings to make sure they work properly
with the Backup Exec service account.
• If the drive on which you want to install Backup Exec is encrypted or
compressed, and you would like to use a default SQL Express
database, verify that an unencrypted and uncompressed drive is
available for SQL Express installation.
• Exit all other programs.
