Migrating to new hardware "Arthur" <mynewsgroupaccount[ at ]googlemail.com> 07.07.2007 16:12:42 I am trying to migrate from a Dell 600SC running SBS2003 to an HP ML350G4. I was foolish enough to believe the hype from HP that their SMP-P2P Physical to Proliant Migration pack would miraculously copy the Dell to the HP in virtually the click of a mouse. After a month of "assistance" or lack of it from the HP support people I have finally decided that it will not work and must now resort to a manual migration. Before I embark upon a swing I just wondered if anyone has tried the Symantec Backup Exec system recovery which I believe can handle this type of thing ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated but I suspect the answer will come back load and clear to use Swing Kit ?

Hi Arthur, Do the swing migration. I did a swing in just a day's work. The new server(dell 2900) is running for a month with no problems at all. The $200 is the best time saving spending i did in years.. gr, Patrick

Re: Migrating to new hardware "Arthur" <mynewsgroupaccount[ at ]googlemail.com> 08.07.2007 07:20:42 Backup Exec System Recovery is not hardware dependent. In fact it has a feature to redeploy to different hardware.

Re: Migrating to new hardware "Arthur" <mynewsgroupaccount[ at ]googlemail.com> 08.07.2007 07:25:46 I just want to add to this thread for the good of anyone else considering the Hewlett Packard SMP-P2P Physical to Proliant Migration Kit. Please don't ! It doesn't work. "Kevin Weilbacher" <kw[ at ]DELETEkwsupport.com> wrote in message news:A8A4769C-8FFF-4D4C-9A2E-A1DF6FDCB28D[ at ]microsoft.com...
