Symantec Backup Exec™ delivers powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use backup and
recovery to protect your entire infrastructure whether built upon virtual, physical, or a
combination of both. Using modern technology, Backup Exec backs up local and
remote data to virtually any storage device including tape, disk and cloud. Recovery is
fast and efficient. With a few simple clicks, you can quickly search and restore
granular file or application objects, applications, VMs, and servers directly from
backup storage. Additionally, easily protect more data while reducing storage costs
through integrated deduplication and archiving technology. Backup Exec saves time
and money and helps protect and recover your critical information in the event of a
disaster or data loss.
Powerful: Radically faster backup and recovery with innovative virtualization
capabilities
Super charge the performance of your backup with Backup Exec 2014. Get fast and
reliable backups that are up to 100% faster than the prior version, including backups
of VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines and backups that leverage deduplication
technology.
Backup Exec's integration with Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and
VMware’s vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) provides fast virtual machine
snapshots for all your virtual machines. By executing post-processing tasks, such as
log truncation, collection of meta data, and searchable catalogs, Backup Exec delivers
highly optimized backup and fast, agile recovery.
With the explosion of data and virtual machines, your organization likely has volumes
of duplicate data. Backup Exec’s integrated block level data deduplication
technology minimizes backup windows, decreases network traffic, and reduces the
disk space required for storing backup files. Unlike other solutions that deduplicate
data on a per backup job basis, Backup Exec deduplicates data across all backup jobs,
including physical and virtual environments. The result is more efficient deduplication
and a greater reduction in storage.
