Twenty minutes after starting an initial configuration from scratch, the first backup job was started using the
Backup Exec wizard as shown in Figure 7. In this screenshot, the destination for the backup data is being
selected. Selecting the ―All Virtual Disks‖ option enabled Backup Exec to use disk capacity on either of the
available virtual disks pools.

Why This Matters
ESG research indicates that small to medium-sized businesses struggle with a diverse range of data
protection challenges that ultimately lead to ineffectual processes, higher costs, and increased levels of
business risk. Small businesses in particular are struggling with the complexity and cost of data protection.
One of the key benefits of a purpose-built all-in-one data protection solution is that it reduces the cost and
complexity of initial installation and deployment.
ESG Lab found that the initial configuration of a Dell PowerVault DL2000 solution is wizard-driven, fast, and
easy. Twenty minutes and fourteen mouse clicks after beginning a configuration from scratch, the Dell
PowerVault DL2000 Powered by Backup Exec was ready for the first backup job.
