Reliable
Backup Exec software is the ideal data protection
solution for any type of Windows server environment. Its
proven, innovative architecture fully incorporates
Microsoft’s design standards helping to ensure 100%
compatibility with Microsoft’s Windows Server operating
systems. Backup Exec software is Microsoft certified for
both Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000.
Backup Exec includes tools that increase reliability
through proactive management. For example, Job Test
Run checks available tape capacity, credentials for
systems being backed up and other criteria to identify
potential problems that cause job failures, and then
notifies the administrator so that corrective action can be
taken. Realize further benefits by using Automatic
Discovery of new resources, which enables
administrators to create a job for detecting new,
unprotected resources that are at risk and in need of
backup.
Self-Healing
The age of self-healing Backup Exec servers has arrived
with the ability to now set the threshold at which Backup
Exec fails the jobs that were stalled and then recovers
them using customizable error-handling rules which
specify the number of times that stalled/failed/recovered
jobs are retried, and the interval between the retries.
Other reliability features include Cyclical Redundancy
Check (CRC), Data Verify and Database Consistency
Checking that assists in maintaining data integrity with
high-speed verification.
Easy To Use
VERITAS Backup Exec software’s features are easy to
use and deliver powerful functionality required for
managing more complex networks. Backup Exec 10
simplifies management with the new Backup Exec
Assistant, which provides easy access to commonly used
features, such as Backup Exec’s wizards, the job
monitor, and job setup.
Streamlined Installation
A new Environment Check utility checks if the media
server has the proper system environment (operating
system version, service packs, etc.) and checks 3
rd
party
application versions required by Backup Exec. The Install
process prompts administrators to answer key items prior
to beginning installation.
Simplified Operations
Managing backup jobs and strategies is simplified
through policies. Policies contain job templates, which let
you define how and when Backup Exec processes a job
and specifies the devices and other settings.
Backup Exec 10 provides 45 standard reports that can be
scheduled, emailed or saved as an HTML for better
reporting and notification.
Color coded Job Logs present a job summary and enable
easy identification of success or failure conditions,
providing greater detail of job history without having to
view the entire log.
Alert filtering, alert history and notification setup provide
customizable views and settings. These features and
many others available with Backup Exec software
simplify the daily management of complex backup and
recovery operations.
Simple, Centralized Administration
Organizations looking to simplify and centralize
management will benefit from the new Central Admin
Server Option. This new option centralizes
administration, job processing, and load balancing by
transforming a stand-alone Backup Exec media server-
based environment into a centrally managed data
protection solution.
The Central Admin Server Option unifies independent
Backup Exec media servers to provide one central point
of administration and control. The Central Admin Server
Option uses a state-of-the-art architecture, enabling
users to:
• Manage data protection operations across multiple
Backup Exec media servers
• Store catalogs, device and media information,
policies, jobs and selection lists for entire Backup
Exec environment
