You cannot install SQL Express or SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2008 computer that is configured in a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) role. The Read Only Domain Controller role does not let you use the local accounts that are required for SQL Express and SQL Server 2005. When you install Backup Exec on an RODC computer you must select a remote SQL instance for the Backup Exec Database.

New Personnel Awareness and Skill Training considerations

A section of the IT team will need to be allocated to ensure the functioning, maintaining and verifying the setup and backup and restore process. The IT management staff that would be a part of this particular process would need to undergo training with Symantec Corporation. The staff would have to be trained and certified before they can effectively deploy and maintain the backup and recovery process.

Anticipated issues or problems during the implementation

Without effective training, the IT personnel might end up in improper configuration of software and inefficient backup and recovery solutions.
