Symantec Backup Exec 2012 Windows Server 21218014 Manual Do Utilizador

protected by Backup Exec 2012, not just on a per-job basis. Additionally, deduplication offers significantly greater levels of
storage savings versus compression or single-instance storage.

• Source deduplication for Linux servers enables significant LAN/WAN bandwidth and backup storage savings while

protecting Linux servers in your environment.

• Ensure your virtual machine backups are recoverable with the Virtual Machine Validator that enables VMware and Backup

Exec 2012 administrators to easily validate the recoverability of full virtual machine backups via the VMware vSphere™
client console.

• Backup Exec 2012 includes High Availability for virtual applications with Virtual Machine Auto-Recovery for VMware. It adds

integration of the Backup Exec Management Plug-in 2.0 for VMware with Symantec™ ApplicationHA 6.0, which enables
Backup Exec to automatically restore a failed virtual machine in order to recover lost application services once
ApplicationHA has exhausted the steps to remediate the failure.

• Integrated bare-metal disaster recovery gives administrators the power to recover an entire server, to entirely different

hardware, from backup copies of that server. From a DVD boot disk, called the Symantec™ Recovery Environment, connect
to the Backup Exec 2012 server and recover an entire machine to completely different hardware.

• Convert backups to virtual machines for instant recovery so that if a server fails, you can get that server back up and

running in a VMware or Hyper-V environment in the time it takes you to turn on a virtual machine. This “no-hardware
disaster recovery” allows instant recovery of physical servers in a virtual environment—which can drastically shrink the
amount of time your business-critical services are down. Converting backups to virtual machines extends the Backup Exec
leadership in virtualization, and is built into Backup Exec 2012.

• Granular recovery for physical and virtual applications eliminates redundant backups for Exchange, Active Directory,

SharePoint, and SQL Servers in virtual environments. From a single host-level backup of VMware or Hyper-V guest
application servers, administrators can restore individual emails, SharePoint documents, Active Directory objects, and SQL
Server databases. With Backup Exec 2012, there is no need for recovery environments, additional virtual machines, or other
additional resources to recover granular data.

• Streamlined administration console makes it easier than ever to set up backups, manage backup policies, perform disaster

recoveries, and convert backups of servers to virtual machines for instant disaster recovery. With Backup Exec 2012, you
don’t need to be a backup expert to run expert backups.

• Easily manage a growing Backup Exec 2012 infrastructure from single servers, Windows® data centers, VMware and Hyper-

V environments, and remote offices from one console.

• Includes intelligent defaults for backup and recovery. Backup Exec 2012 automatically configures backup and restore

operations with intelligent defaults, drawn from both Symantec’s expertise in data protection and from the most successful
policies and settings from the Backup Exec community. These defaults take the guesswork out of comprehensive protection,
so you can quickly protect your data and applications with minimal effort.

• Power and simplicity combined, Backup Exec 2012 has streamlined many aspects of backup and restore configuration,

management, and reporting. The same award-winning capabilities and level of in-depth functionality that backup
