Backup multiple servers in a single job Symantec Backup Exec 2014 delivers up to 100% faster backups, recovers anything in just minutes, and is easy to use and manage across both virtual and physical environments. Learn how it can solve your customers’ challenges at symantec.com/backup-exec When you can do it simply, you can do it all. How Backup Exec 2014 addresses customer IT challenges: ● Reducing Costs: Lowering costs and simplifying backup tasks starts with deploying a single solution that can protect a hybrid physical and virtual infrastructure. Deeply integrated with VMware, Microsoft and Linux platforms, Backup Exec can protect from one to thousands of servers and virtual machines all from the same user console, providing optimal performance and efficiency. ● Meeting backup windows: Backup Exec helps you meet critical backup windows by delivering backups that are up to 100% faster* than previous versions. In addition, by executing post-processing tasks that don’t impact the backup window, such as log truncation, collection of metadata, and searchable catalogs, Backup Exec delivers highly optimized backup. ● Keeping pace with the capacity of data to protect: Backup Exec’s flexible block-level data deduplication helps you keep pace with growing data by minimizing backup windows, decreasing network traffic, and reducing the disk space required for storing backup files by up to 90%**. Backup Exec can deduplicate at the client, media server or appliance across all physical and virtual backup jobs. ● Improving backup reliability: Backup Exec’s integration with Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and VMware’s vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) provides reliable and consistent application-aware backups for all your virtual machines. Additionally, upon successful completion of each virtual or physical backup job, you can automatically verify the recoverability of each and every backup.
