Backup & Recovery

Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers Listing updated: May 30, 2011

Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers provides granular protection for a wide variety of applications including Microsoft SQL and Exchange with key agents.

Symantec Backup Exec Agent for Exchange Server - A technology to protect vital Exchange Server 5.5, 2000 and 2003 data while the application is online. This agent provides full or incremental, or differential backup and restore of embedded objects, attributes, and all Outlook components. Restore can automatically mount the Exchange database upon completion of a restore job, which ensures a valid database is brought back online quickly. Use of the Single Instance Storage feature eliminates backup of duplicate information by storing only the first instance of attachments distributed to multiple mailboxes.

For Microsoft Windows Exchange 2003 Server support, the mailbox or message level restores from a full traditional backup does not require installation of a separate Exchange 2003 server. When running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the Backup Exec Agent for Exchange Server has added support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Volume Snapshot (VSS) technology enabling the user to select either the VERITAS or the Microsoft proprietary frozen image technology for protecting open files. The agent provides the ability to perform consistency check before backup when using Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service.

vAppHA Listing updated: August 31, 2010

The VMware vSphere 4 platform incorporates three platform-level technologies – High Availability (HA), Fault Tolerance (FT) and vMotion that significantly improve overall system resilience and continuous availability.

However, when it comes to protecting your business-critical Windows based applications, these technologies require additional functionality to deliver Continuous Application Availability.

Neverfail vAppHA for VMware provides that additional level of Continuous Application Availability by enabling failover under a variety of conditions that can be detected within virtual machines. Specifically business-critical applications are protected against the most common causes of downtime, such as application failures, service failures, performance degradation, configuration changes and user error.

After all, what’s the point of having a “Continuously Available” virtualization platform if the application itself, is no longer working?
