Backup Exec™ offers these advanced features:
• Granular Recovery Technology for Speedy Restores:
Patent-pending Granular Recovery Technology (GRT)
for critical Microsoft
® applications, including Exchange,
SharePoint ® (MOSS), and Active Directory, lets your
administrator recover granular objects from a single-pass
backup by simply browsing and selecting it. Recover
specific items such as public folders and individual
mailboxes — even individual e-mails, attachments, and
calendar items — all without a time-consuming full
restore.
• Continuous Data Protection for Exchange:
Continuously protects Microsoft Exchange and file
data by backing up changes to the disk in real time
as they occur. Improves the overall level of data
protection and reduces administrative complexity
because it eliminates the need for full, incremental,
or differential backups for Exchange data.
• Protection for VMware™ Virtual Machines with Lower
Cost and Complexity: Managing backups on virtual
machines can be difficult and expensive due to licensing
requirements. The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by
Symantec Backup Exec incorporates award-winning
technology for virtual machine protection. The Agent
for VMware Virtual Infrastructure includes protection
for an unlimited number of guests on an individual
ESX host. In addition, Backup Exec leverages several
VMware technologies, including VMware Consolidated
Backup (VCB), that make backing up and restoring
virtual machines faster and easier.
• Protection for Desktops and Laptops: Backup
Exec’s Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) lets users
automatically protect multiple desktops and laptops
via a network share. DLO lets users choose continuous,
scheduled, or manual backups and provides an
intuitive interface that lets users access their most
up-to-date data whether they’re in the office or on
the road.
The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by
CommVault offers:
• Data Deduplication: The PowerVault DL2000 –
Powered by CommVault has a built-in compression
and deduplication capability that stores data
only once, eliminating redundant blocks across
consolidated backup sets. No longer are you
limited to one or two full backup cycles on disk.
Deduplication lets you keep weeks
of complete recovery copies on a smaller disk
footprint. You get optimal recovery performance while
minimizing your storage investment and reducing
your storage requirements by up to 95%** with
deduplication.
**Data deduplication can reduce storage requirements by up to 20x compared to the same amount of tape, which in turn
can reduce backup windows, increase restore times, and save money. Individual results will vary. See the CommVault data deduplication calculator at Dell.
