Before you install
Before you install Backup Exec, you should do 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.
