Backup Exec 2010 for Windows Small Business Server provides continuous disk-based and traditional tape-based data protection. It can protect a single server, multiple servers, application servers like Exchange, UNIX and Linux servers, a storage area network, desktop computers, notebook computers, and virtual environments. This edition of Backup Exec 2010 is optimized for Windows Small Business Server 2003/2008 environments.

This product is one of a family of Symantec enterprise-level backup applications. For a comparison of the applications offered through the CTX Programme, see the Guide to Symantec Recovery and Backup Products.

Backup Exec 2010 specializes in backup and recovery of complex enterprise applications such as SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, SAP, Oracle, and similar programs. Some backup programs have trouble capturing and backing up the current state of constantly changing, multi-user enterprise applications. Backup Exec facilitates the quick backup and restoration of these applications with its numerous agents and options. Moreover, with the necessary system recovery agents installed, administrators can recover individual email messages and database records, which is useful because user error is a more common problem than catastrophic system failure.

There are several key components to a Backup Exec solution, all of which are included in this product. The Backup Exec Media Server controls the backup media itself (that is, disk drives, tape backup, or network attached storage). The System Recovery Agents are services running on the computers that an organization needs to back up and restore.

Agents and options extend platform and feature support for Backup Exec environments. An unlimited number of these agents can be used within a network, allowing for multiple instances of agents to protect several servers. See this table for descriptions of the agents and options included with the Backup Exec products available through CTX PROGRAMME. The version of Backup Exec for Windows Small Business Server available through CTX PROGRAMME includes all of the available agents and options.

Features: 
Here are some notable features of this product:

•    Administrators can define policies to manage backup jobs and strategies. Policies contain job templates with attributes that define how and when Backup Exec processes a job.

•    Because continuous data protection backs up data residing on file servers as it changes, open files are protected, and incremental or differential backups are not needed.

•    Integration with Symantec ThreatCon, a measurement of global threat exposure, allows Backup Exec users to view security threat reports and set proactive backup to be triggered when global threats reach or exceed a specified level.

•    A web-based search engine enables end users to retrieve previous versions of files stored on the file server from the Internet without contacting IT.
•    Automated alerts can be sent via Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, SMTP email, pager, printer, net send broadcast, or network monitoring applications.

•    Configurable 128-bit and 256-bit encryption is available when data is being backed up or stored on tape.

•    Granular Recovery Technology recovers critical Microsoft application data in seconds. Administrators can restore individual Exchange messages, SharePoint site items or documents, and Active Directory user preferences from a single backup.
