Best practices for Backup Exec and Veritas Update

Best practices include tips and recommendations to help you use Backup Exec and Veritas Update effectively. For more information about Veritas Update, see the Backup Exec Administrator's Guide.

The following best practices can help ensure the effective operation of Veritas Update:

  • Run Veritas Update before and after each Backup Exec installation or upgrade.

  • Schedule Veritas Update to run when backup jobs are idle to optimize system performance.

  • On the Backup and Restore tab, right-click the remote computer and then select Update to update the Agent for Windows on remote computers with the same patches that were installed on the Backup Exec server. Veritas Update does not update the Agent for Windows on remote computers. The Downloads section of the Symantec Technical Support website contains information about what each Veritas Update service pack contains.
