BE Lockdown Service
• Are sent using the deduplication engine rather than a network share
• No special handling is required
ASR replicates VMs to Azure almost continuously so if there is a disaster, the user can failover to
replicated VMs
Customers can use the Azure portal for other Azure operations
Subscription should be
enabled on the account
Right-click option is
enabled if the VM has not
replicated before and there
are no validation errors
DR Health Status
• Critical – Replication error symptoms that are typically
indicators that replication is either stuck or is not
progressing as fast as the data change rate
• Healthy – Replication is progressing normally and there
are no error or warning symptoms
• Warning – Warning symptoms that may impact replication
or indicate that replication isn't progressing normally
• Not Applicable – Servers that aren't currently expected to
be replicating, such as servers that have been failed over
• If Deduplication is installed:
– Environment check will run the storage conversion time
estimation tool
– Estimated time will be shown on Data Backup page of
upgrade wizard

• Client-side GRT backup will post CAS will not dispatch jobs
an exception and run as to an MBES prior to BE 20 if
server‑side deduplication the target device is a DD10
• GRT restores use server-side dedupe folder

• Blocked item list can be exported to an external file that can be saved as backup
• Audit trail is maintained for import/export, restore job override and restore job execution

2 information will be shared when it comes online
• If a new MBES is added, blocked files information and encryption key
will be synced with that MBES
In rolling upgrades, MBES will not honour blocked files until they are upgraded to

Backup Exec connections use only TLS 1.2 and support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 is disabled
BE 15 FP1 and newer use the highest TLS version supported by both the Agent for Windows and the
BE Server, in most cases that is TLS v1.2
Upgrade checks for Agents for Windows older than BE 15 FP1, if none are in use TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are
disabled by default
User consent is required to continue to use an Agent for Windows older than BE 15 FP1 (if detected)
Backup Exec uses TLS 1.2 to communicate with SQL and when accessing the Backup Exec Database
(BEDB)
Symantec LiveUpdate
Backup Exec 16 and older must manually download updates, see technical article 100019916
Backup Exec 20 can use Veritas Update to automatically download updates or notify you that updates are available
While Veritas is continually adding support for new features, platforms, operating systems, and applications, it is also necessary to improve,
replace, or remove support in Backup Exec for lesser used, older features, functionality, software, OS, databases, applications, integration
with other products, and hardware that are no longer supported or nearing their end of support life!
