Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Small Business Server—Premium and Standard Editions
Microsoft’s Automated System Recovery (ASR) functionality
in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP to provide complete
disaster recovery on Windows servers. With Offline Protection
functionality, even when a computer crashes before admin-
istrators create disaster recovery media, IDR can still recover
the computer using a full backup made prior to the crash
that includes information needed to restore the system.
Additional Small Business Server agents and options
sold separately
Library Expansion Option
Scale the media storage system by leveraging additional
drives within multidrive tape or optical autoloader/library
storage systems. This option leverages Backup Exec Advanced
Device and Media Management (ADAMM) technology to
provide extensive configuration and management capabilities,
including “lights-out” backup and restore operations, bar
code reader, and portal support for both SCSI and fiber-
attached devices. You can partition slots within libraries
to target backup jobs to a specific slot.
Remote Agent for Windows/Netware Systems (includes
Continuous Protection Agent for Windows Servers)
The bundled Remote Agent expands network-wide data
protection and optimizes data transfers for 32- and 64-bit
remote Windows servers, including local registry and system
state information. Exclusive Agent Accelerator technology
maximizes backup and recovery performance by providing
source-level compression and distributed processing at the
client. The result is reduced network traffic and maximized
data throughput.
The Remote Agent now includes the functionality of the
Continuous Protection Agent, delivering continuous disk-
based data protection for remote file servers with LAN or
WAN connectivity to the Backup Exec Continuous Protection
Server. It simplifies backups by consolidating data protection
and recovery into a central server, eliminates the backup
window needed to protect each file server, and provides
faster restores by helping to ensure that business-critical
data is immediately accessible. Point-in-time snapshots of
data on the Continuous Protection Server are periodically
captured and protected to provide versioning and granular
point-in-time recovery of files. Full system state information
is also protected. You can seamlessly retrieve previous
versions of files using Backup Exec Retrieve, a simple Web-
based recovery tool.
Advanced Open File Option for Remote Windows Servers
This agent helps ensure that files on remote servers are
protected even while in use. The Backup Exec Advanced
Open File Option handles open files at the volume level and
is seamlessly integrated into Backup Exec software. There
is no need to know which files are open ahead of time; just
set a scheduled backup to use this option with a simple
mouse click. It can back up multiple volumes in one job
while creating a snapshot of only one logical volume at a
time. After the logical volume is snapped and backed up,
the snapshot is deleted before the next logical volume is
snapped. This feature increases the ability to meet the
minimum quiet time needed to complete a snapshot.
Advanced technology also makes it possible to detect and
leverage alternate frozen image technologies such as
Microsoft VSS on Windows Server 2003 or Veritas Storage
Foundation for Windows FlashSnap™ for increased applica-
tion availability.
