About adding a Backup Exec 3600 Appliance to an
existing Backup Exec environment
You can add a Backup Exec 3600 Appliance to an existing Backup Exec
environment. The appliance can back up only the agents that run Backup Exec
2012. The existing Backup Exec servers should run Backup Exec 2012 (fully
patched), or later, before the addition of the appliance.
You can add a Backup Exec 3600 Appliance as a managed Backup Exec server in
a CASO environment. You need to upgrade the other servers to Backup Exec 2012
before the addition of the appliance.
Several tape devices and autoloaders are compatible with the Backup Exec 3600
Appliance.
