laptops so the most up-to-date file versions are 
available on all of a user’s computers. Because the 
Desktop and Laptop Option does not require a 
dedicated stand alone server as competing 
products do, it easily integrates into existing IT 
infrastructure and policies, helping lower the total 
cost of ownership. The new push-install 
functionality from within Backup Exec centralizes 
deployment. This version also adds Outlook 2003 
support, reporting and console access control. 
 
Advanced Open File Option
*
  
Ensures files on local or remote servers are 
protected while in use. The Symantec Backup Exec 
Advanced Open File Option handles open files at 
the volume level and is seamlessly integrated into 
Backup Exec software. There is no need to know 
which files are open ahead of time; just set a 
scheduled backup to use this option with a simple 
mouse click. Additionally, it can backup multiple 
volumes in one job while creating a snapshot of 
only one logical volume at a time. After the logical 
volume is snapped and backed up, the snapshot is 
deleted before the next logical volume is snapped. 
This option increases the ability to meet the 
minimum quiet time needed to complete a 
snapshot. 
 
Advanced technology also integrates the ability to 
detect and leverage alternate frozen image 
technologies such as Microsoft Volume Snapshot 
Service (VSS) on Windows Servers 2003 or 
VERITAS Volume Manager FlashSnap
™ for 
increased application availability.  
 
Open File Option for Remote NetWare Servers 
Enhances file protection by helping to ensure that 
every file is protected even while in use (on a 
NetWare 5.1, 6.0, and 6.5 legacy volumes or 
NetWare 6.0 and 6.5 NSS volumes). This option 
can handle open files at the volume level and is 
seamlessly integrated into Symantec Backup Exec 
software.  
 
REMOTE CLIENT ACCESS OPTIONS 
 
NEW! Agent for Microsoft Data Protection 
Manager
 
Provides high performance, network-wide data 
protection for the Microsoft Data Protection 
Manager, including SQL Server components. 
 
 
NEW! Continuous Protection Agent (CPA) 
Provides continuous disk-based data protection for 
remote file servers with LAN or WAN connectivity to  
Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server. By 
providing continuous disk-based protection, it 
simplifies backups by consolidating data protection 
to a central server, eliminates the backup window 
needed to protect each file server, and provides 
faster restores by ensuring business critical data is 
immediately accessible. Point-in-time snapshots of 
each file server are periodically captured and 
protected on the Continuous Protection Server to 
provide versioning and granular point-in-time 
recovery of files. Full system state information is 
also protected. End-users can seamlessly retrieve 
previous versions of files using Backup Exec 
Retrieve, a simple web-based recovery tool.  
 
Remote Agent Client Access License (CAL) for 
Linux or UNIX Servers
 
Provides high performance network-wide data 
protection for 32 and 64-bit remote Linux and UNIX 
servers. The redesigned agent extends Backup 
Exec software’s advanced agent technology 
beyond Windows and Netware to meet the need of 
the emerging business applications on Linux 
operating systems. This agent provides full or 
incremental, or differential backup and restore of

network-wide data protection and optimize data 
transfers for 32 and 64-bit remote Windows 
servers, including local Registry and System State 
information. Exclusive Agent Accelerator 
technology helps maximize backup and recovery 
performance by providing source-level compression 
and distributed processing at the client. The result 
is reduced network traffic and maximized data 
throughput.
