MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE 
The Backup Exec software architecture is designed to 
minimize network traffic and maximize throughput 
performance. The optional Remote Agents for Windows* and 
NetWare* servers use VERITAS’ exclusive Agent 
Accelerator technology for distributed processing and source 
compression providing client access when protecting or 
restoring remote file and database servers.  
 
Performance features and enhancements in this release of 
Backup Exec software include the ability to: 
 
• 
Leverage high performance network backup of all 
Windows server platforms, including 64-bit remote 
systems. 
• 
Improved backup performance with Backup to Disk 
using hard disks or removable media such as DVD–RW, 
ZIP, JAZ and CD-RW – allowing configuration of size 
limits for managing disk capacity.  
• 
Duplication of Backup Data functionality enables 
administrators to automatically copy single or multiple 
sets of data to tape or disk for archiving, true disaster 
recovery, or data compliance requirements. By using 
Backup-to-Disk in conjunction with the Duplication of 
Backup Data functionality, administrators can stage 
backups to disk for faster recovery. The Duplication 
functionality can then be set up to automatically send 
that data to tape or disk for offsite disaster recovery data 
management. Duplication of Backup Data also helps 
businesses comply with e-mail or other business 
archiving practices or regulations. 
• 
Leverage Windows Change Journal integration and use 
the Windows modified time instead of relying on the 
archive bit – allowing incremental and differential 
backups to run faster by eliminating the need to perform 
larger, full backups. 
• 
Reduce LAN traffic and enhance backup and recovery 
performance by selecting a Network Interface Card to 
reroute backup and restores to a secondary LAN on the 
network. 
• 
Ensure all files on local and remote servers are 
protected even while in use. The Advanced Open File 
Option can use Microsoft Volume Snapshot Service 
(VSS) components on Windows Server 2003 or 
VERITAS Volume Manager FlashSnap
 – providing 
alternate frozen image solutions to protect open files or 
SQL servers. 
 
• 
Automate the complex recovery process for SQL 
Servers – VERITAS Intelligent Disaster Recovery 
Option uses copies of the Master and Model database 
to start SQL Server, allowing a single pass restore and 
eliminating the need to reinstall the SQL application.  
 
Centralized Administration 
For highly distributed backup operations, Backup Exec 
software’s ExecView Application is designed to provide 
remote monitoring and administration of individual Backup 
Exec servers from any Windows server or workstation.  The 
web-based ExecView feature, accessible from the user 
interface, centrally monitors the activities of all Backup Exec 
servers running on Windows or NetWare servers, over the 
LAN or WAN from any Web browser. 
 
Exercise greater control of remote Backup Exec servers on 
the network with the new Admin Plus Pack Option* — 
providing the ability to clone and remotely install media 
servers as well as copy jobs, selection lists and job 
templates between media servers.  The Admin Plus Pack 
Option also delivers 24 additional management reports and 
advanced capabilities such as report scheduling and e-
mailing to identified recipients.
 
 
Disaster Recovery Protection 
Proactive preparedness is the key to ensure that business-
critical data is readily available in the event of a disaster.  
The Duplication of Backup Data functionality discussed 
earlier is one method of providing disaster recovery 
protection. 
 
With the Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option, VERITAS 
simplifies and automates the process of preparing for and 
recovering all data and system information from a “point-in-
time” due to a disaster. 
 
The Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option* integrates directly 
with Microsoft’s Automated System Recovery (ASR) 
functionality in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP to 
provide disaster recovery on Windows servers.  
 
Additionally, the Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option 
integrates directly with daily backups to provide wizard-
based disaster recovery of local and remote Windows 
servers.  The restoration process can be initiated via 
diskettes, CD/RW, or bootable tape to allow for system 
recovery without reinstalling the operating system.  System 
files are restored from the most recent full, incremental, 
differential or working set backup.   
 
Cluster-Aware Operation 
Improve system fault tolerance by protecting highly available 
Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) machines with Backup 
Exec software — leveraging Microsoft’s Clustering APIs to 
provide automatic backup server failover in active/passive 
cluster deployments.  Failure of the primary server invokes 
Backup Exec software’s checkpoint-restart feature to 
automatically begin operating on a secondary node at the 
point of failure, redirecting the current job and remaining 
scheduled jobs to the secondary node in the cluster.  
Protection of clustered active-active applications is also 
supported.
