Backup Exec System Recovery Desktop 6.5 - Retail Boxed

Software Description

Restore Windows systems anytime, from anywhere to virtually any device.Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Desktop Edition combines the speed and reliability of disk-based, bare-metal Windows system recovery with dissimilar hardware restoration. IT administrators can minimize downtime for critical IT services by rapidly recovering entire systems to dissimilar hardware platforms or virtual environments. Key Features Rapidly recover entire desktops to dissimilar hardware platforms - or even to virtual environments. Create real-time, while-you-work recovery points of the entire system to eliminate backup windows. Save recovery points to virtually any disk storage device including SAN, NAS, direct attached storage, CD/DVD, etc. Schedule full or incremental recovery points hourly, daily, weekly or at any given point in time. New Features Dissimilar Hardware Restoration combines hot imaging with the ability to restore to different hardware platforms including different storage controllers and hardware abstraction layers on the fly. Dissimilar hardware restoration reduces recovery times and saves significant hardware investments by eliminating the need to recover systems to the identical hardware platform where recovery points were created. A legacy machine whose capacity is constantly being overtaxed or a desktop/laptop that is on lease and needs to be returned could have its image swapped with a new, high-powered desktop/laptop within a matter of minutes. Using a 90-day trial version of VMWare GSX Workstation, users are provided tools and instructions on how they can convert their existing machine into a VMDK file and restore recovery points to virtual environments. The universal Symantec Recovery Disk (included on the product CD) auto-detects the system hardware and loads the appropriate drivers necessary to boot the machine.
