Nah, why keep a support contract just for Backup software? I've run
into snags here and there but a little google-fu or hacking around for
a bit fixes the issue, or often just a reboot. I hear various horrors
of BE but it runs very smoothly for me.

Would love to upgrade; I've done it in the past and it is very smooth.
However management is trying to do this as cheaply as possible :(
We're toying with the idea of moving to SBS 2008 mainly so we can
implement
Exchange. When SBS 2008 comes out, I hope there isnt a problem using
the BE
v10 Exchange Agent for it.

All I know is that the serial numbers do change for each version, so
each BE
upgrade you do need to get new keys.
So, can you plug the keys into v10 and have them work? - NO.
But, can you contact support and have them give you v10 compatible
keys?
PROBABLY.
Or, just upgrade all your agents and server to the latest version of
BE.
Upgrades are cake.

Thinking of finally implementing Exchange here, however, Backup Exec
10
Exchange agents are not too plentiful, so shopping around for a good
price
is tough. I see plenty of 11 agents for sale, but I would be wary
about
its
serial number working in v10. Anyone know?
