Backup Exec 2010 R3

Backup Exec 2010 R3 provides continuous disk-based and traditional
tape-based data protection. It can protect a single server, multiple
servers, application servers like Exchange, UNIX and Linux servers, a
storage area network, desktop computers, notebook computers, and virtual
environments.

At the core of the Backup Exec system is the Backup Exec Media
Server, which controls the backup media (disk, network attached storage,
or tape). The media server's administration console provides an
intuitive interface and wizards to simplify installation, setup, backup,
recovery, media management, disaster preparation, cluster installation,
and agent configuration.

Administrators can define policies to manage backup jobs and
strategies. Policies contain job templates with attributes that define
how and when Backup Exec processes a job.

Agents and options extend platform and feature support for Backup
Exec environments. An unlimited number of these agents can be used
within a network, allowing for multiple instances of agents to protect
several servers. Click the following link for a list of all Backup
Exec agents and options. The version of Backup Exec available
through TechSoup Canada includes all
of the available agents and options.

The R3 release includes enhanced wizards for installation and backups, a backup recommendation tool that identifies weaknesses in a backup strategy and recommends applicable agents, and support for more applications, databases, and platforms.

Other capabilities include the following:

• Because continuous data protection backs up data residing on file servers as it changes, open files are protected, and incremental or differential backups are not needed.
• Integration with Symantec ThreatCon, a measurement of global threat exposure, allows Backup Exec users to view security threat reports and set proactive backup to be triggered when global threats reach or exceed a specified level.
• A web-based search engine enables end users to retrieve previous versions of files stored on the file server from the Internet without contacting IT.
• Automated alerts can be sent via Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, SMTP email, pager, printer, net send broadcast, or network monitoring applications.
• Configurable 128-bit and 256-bit encryption is available when data is being backed up or stored on tape.
