Symantec Backup Exec 2012 Small Business
Edition Agent for Windows
The Backup Exec Agent for Windows
provides high-performance data protection for remote Windows
servers and includes Open File protection and Simplified Disaster
Recovery. This Agent optimizes data transfers for 32-bit and
64-bit remote Windows servers with exclusive Agent Accelerator
technology that provides source-level compression and distributed
processing at the client. Open files are protected with the
Advanced Open File capability built into the Agent for Windows.
This capability integrates with VSS to protect open files in
multiple volumes and ensures files on local or remote servers are
protected while in use. The Simplified Disaster Recovery feature
saves time by automating the traditional manual, error-prone
process of system recovery. This bare-metal, hardware independent
disaster recovery quickly recovers complete servers, enabling
restoration to the same hardware, to dissimilar hardware or even a
virtual machine. With four powerful technologies wrapped into one
agent, users truly have complete data and system protection for
every remote Windows server.
Backup Exec requires at least one storage
media drive and/or single-drive robotic library. Removable storage
devices and non-removable hard drives can also be targeted for
backups. Refer to the
Backup Exec
hardware compatibility list for a complete list of devices
that are supported.
Note: Support for a single robotic library drive is available when
you purchase Backup Exec. To enable support for additional robotic
library drives, you must purchase Backup Exec Library Expansion
Option.
