• Incremental scheduling saves time and reduces disk
storage requirements by capturing only the changes
that were made since the last recovery point.
• Event-driven recovery point automatically creates a
recovery point when an event (such as application
installation, user logon or logout, or specified change
in megabytes of storage) occurs that could threaten
a system’s stability.
• Symantec Recovery Disk auto-detects hardware and loads
the appropriate drivers to boot the system, eliminating the
need to manually build recovery floppy disks.
• Interactive remote recovery lets you remotely restore
servers and desktops through the embedded Symantec
pcAnywhere™ host technology and the included Symantec
Recovery Disk.*
• Symantec Recovery Disk is PXE compatible and can be
loaded remotely even in the event of complete system
corruption providing additional options for remote
bare metal restorations. This may require additional
professional services.
Flexible restoration options
(Restore Anyware capabilities)
• Dissimilar hardware restoration (including different
storage controllers and hardware abstraction layers)
reduces recovery times and saves significant
hardware investments.
• Combines hot imaging with the ability to restore to
different hardware platforms on the fly.
* A full license of Symantec pcAnywhere is required to perform the remote
recovery function.
• Allows users to migrate their system to a new computer
without requiring a new installation. This is useful for
upgrading hardware and for repurposing systems to
serve a different role.
• Convert system recovery images into VMWare virtual
machines and vice versa, giving you greater flexibility
in managing recovery environments. This capability also
allows you to test patches, application installations, and
the like in the virtual environment before applying them
to live systems.
Easy remote recovery
(LightsOut Restore capabilities)
• Eliminates the need for in-person visits to perform a
full bare metal recovery by booting the system from its
out-of-band controller.
• Symantec Recovery Disk is placed on the system hard
drive, eliminating the need to access it from the CD.
• Allows manual addition of drivers directly to the Symantec
Recovery Disk files located in the boot volume subdirectory.
