SQL 2005 & MSDE 2000

[rc@!die.!spammer.bhfshops.org.uk]

Hi

We have just migrated to SQL 2005 database.
We backup up our SQL database to disk, then backup files to tape using
BckupExec 10.1.

The only snag is that BackupExec uses MSDE2000 to manage jobs etc so
it will want to install a MSDE2000 on the server that has SQL 2005 on
it !!

Backupexec Support tell me that it will be fine to have two version of
SQL install on the server, is that the case?

Naturally, I am concerned about DLL conflicts and breaking my SQL 2005
server

Can any one shed any light on this?

Thanks

Yes, SQL Server 2000 and 2005 can be installed side-by-side. For more
information, see the Books Online
(ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/instsql9/html/93acefa8-bb41-4ccc-b763-7801f51134e0.ht m).
