Overview
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (formerly LiveState
Recovery) combines the speed and reliability of disk-based,
bare-metal Windows® system recovery with revolutionary
technologies for hardware-independent restoration and
lights-out operation. The result is unparalleled freedom
to restore systems anytime, from anywhere, to virtually
any device.
Benefits
Reduces recovery time and costs
• Restore Anyware™ capability allows you to rapidly recover
entire systems to dissimilar hardware platforms. It even
lets you restore recovery points to virtual environments
in VMWare.
• Bare-metal restorations can be performed in minutes.
• You no longer need to reinstall and reconfigure
operating systems, applications, system settings,
and preferences.
Eliminates the need for onsite support
• LightsOut Restore capability enables the recovery of
systems in remote or inaccessible locations.
Ensures high performance and interoperability
• Network bandwidth throttling reduces network traffic
when systems are creating a recovery point to a network
storage device.
• Support for Microsoft® Active Directory® allows a restored
domain controller image to be re-synchronized with other
controllers in the domain.
• Automatic generation of SNMP traps enables
administrators to use existing network management
consoles to report on the status of recovery points.
Features
Powerful Windows® system recovery
(Server Edition, Desktop Edition, and Windows Small
Business Server Edition)
• Captures a system’s entire live state including all files,
applications, operating systems, and settings in one
easy-to-manage file, without disrupting user productivity
or application usage.
• Lets you perform a full system restoration or a complete
bare-metal recovery in minutes.
• Performance throttling improves performance on desktops
and servers to utilize resources more effectively while
capturing a recovery point.
• Network bandwidth throttling enables administrators to
generate recovery points to network locations without
overloading the network.
• Microsoft VSS integration automatically sets databases
that are VSS-aware into the “quiet” state so that
recovery points can be captured without taking the
databases offline.
• Save recovery points to virtually any disk storage device,
including direct attached storage, NAS, SAN, USB drive,
FireWire drive, CD, DVD, and so on.
• Scheduled recovery points help ensure systems are
enabled for quick recovery while allowing administrators
to focus their attention on other tasks.
