Distributed Protection of Branch Offices: When
you pair two PowerVault DL2000 devices across 
geographically distributed sites, you can replicate your 
deduplicated backups efficiently. Managed from a 
central site, each remote PowerVault DL2000 delivers 
rapid recovery at the branch office where it’s located 
and also lets you protect your data with a replica 
copy at your DR site that you can use for restores or 
tape creation. 
•
Efficient Virtual Server Data Storage: CommVault’s
Universal Virtual Server Agent automatically detects 
and protects unlimited virtual servers on an individual 
VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V host. Use block 
differential technology to only move and store changed 
VMDK or VHD blocks during backup. 
•
One-Step Individual Object Recovery: Efforts
to restore lost data can range in scope from a full 
system recovery to recovering an individual e-mail. 
The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault
®
provides the fast and easy recovery of individual 
objects with single-step granular recovery.
•
Synthetic Full Backups: Frequent full backups take a
toll on server I/O and can slow down user applications. 
The PowerVault DL2000 – Powered by CommVault 
removes that performance burden by continually 
backing up smaller, incremental changes from production 
servers and merging them with unchanged data to 
create a synthetic full backup copy. Patented Smart 
Client technology reduces the incremental backup time 
by tracking all of the files that have changed.
•
File and E-mail Archival Agents: File, E-mail, and
SharePoint Archiver software removes infrequently 
accessed data from servers and archives it for unified 
backup and archive protection. Your end users and 
applications retain normal access to the archived items 
at all times. By archiving your server data, you can 
achieve smaller backups and faster recoveries.
