You cannot install Backup Exec with an account that has a blank password on
Windows Server 2003/2008 or XP computers unless Windows is configured to
allow it. If you try to do so, the following error message appears when Backup
Exec services are created:
The given password is not correct for account [server]\[username].
You can, however, configure Windows to allow for blank passwords. For more
information, see your Windows documentation.
Installing Backup Exec to a local computer
The Backup Exec installation media includes an installation program that guides
you through the installation process.
You can also use the installation program to upgrade from a previous version of
Backup Exec.
See “About upgrading from previous versions of Backup Exec” on page 13.
To install Backup Exec to a non-English version of Windows, download the SQL
Express SP3 setup file from the Microsoft Web site before you install Backup Exec
if all of the following are true:
■ You want to use a local Backup Exec SQL Express instance.
■ You have non-English SQL Server instances on the computer on which you
want to install Backup Exec.
If you upgrade from a previous version of Backup Exec that uses a non-English
version of Windows, you must download the SQL Express SP3 setup file for that
language from the Microsoft Web site.
Note: If you install Backup Exec through terminal services and the installation
media is on a shared drive (network share), you must install it using a UNC path.
Installation by mapped drives is not supported in this situation.
