Eliminate Backup Windows
Backup Exec 10d introduces the Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server to help ensure your data is always protected and always available. As a pure disk-based data protection solution, the Continuous Protection Server tracks whenever a change is made to a file, and makes sure change is captured and protected. Not only is the most recent data protected, multiple versions of files are captured and available for recovery or retrieval. Backup Exec only captures granular, or block-level changes, not the whole file, reducing impact on network performance.
Backup Exec 10d Continuous data protection helps eliminate the ever shrinking backup window faced by organizations, because data can be protected immediately. It also means no more complex full, incremental, or differential backups of business critical data on file servers – simplifying management, reducing costs, and reducing complexity.
- Data protected immediately and continuously
- No more incrementals or differentials
- Only changed data transmitted
Delivers Industry’s First Web-Based File Retrieval
The Backup Exec 10d helps reduce overall administration costs with the introduction of Backup Exec Retrieve – a simple, web interface that enables end users to retrieve previous versions of files without contacting IT. By empowering end users with the ability to retrieve their own files, IT resources are freed up to focus on other business critical needs in the organization. As simple as any web-based search engine, retrieving lost, corrupted or overwritten data is as easy as searching for and downloading a file from the Internet. No backup tape to locate, load, or data to restore to find the correct file needed.
Best of all, there is no client software or agents to install individual desktops and laptops. Users only need a standard web browser, making data retrieval easier than ever.
- Simple, Web Search Engine-Like Experience
- For System Administrators or End-Users
- No special software needed– just use a standard browser
