Desktop and Laptop Option 
Protecting critical data on users’ desktops or laptops is 
a challenge for any IT organization because existing 
policies are not effective. With the introduction of the 
Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO), VERITAS delivers 
effective, high-performance data protection to 
desktops and laptops for continuous backup protection 
whether in the office or on the road. By automatically 
copying user data to existing network share, this new 
option enables users to restore their own files and 
maintain synchronization between multiple desktops 
and laptops. The Desktop and Laptop Option easily 
integrates into existing IT infrastructure and policies, 
helping to lower the total cost of ownership. 
 
Admin Plus Pack Option  
Exercise greater control of remote Backup Exec 
servers on the network with components designed to 
ease management of distributed backup servers. 
Features include the ability to clone and remotely 
install media servers as well as copy jobs, selection 
lists and job templates between media servers. This 
option provides 24 management reports and advanced 
capabilities such as report scheduling and e-mailing 
output to recipients. 
 
ENHANCED! Advanced Open File Option

Ensure that files on local or remote servers are 
protected even while in use. The VERITAS 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. 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.
