3 11 reasons to upgrade to Backup Exec 11d 1. Are your Exchange backups taking a long time? Backup Exec 11d introduces continuous protection for Microsoft Exchange and revolutionizes Exchange protection in two ways. First, it eliminates the daily backup window no more daily full backups or incremental backups, and no more mailbox backups. Exchange is protected all the time. Only a weekly or monthly full backup is required. Second, even without mailbox backups, Backup Exec 11d lets you recover individual s, folders, and mailboxes in seconds. 2. Is your data taking too long to recover? With new technology exclusive to Backup Exec 11d, you can recover critical data in seconds for key Microsoft applications, such as Exchange. Backup Exec 11d takes a persistent data image (PDI) of Exchange, and it is this innovative design that enables the recovery of critical data in seconds. 3. Are you concerned with the security of data being backed up and even moved off-site for long-term data protection? Backup Exec 11d provides 128-bit and 256-bit encryption, helping to ensure that protected data is secure when being backed up or stored on tape. Data is encrypted on a client, to ensure protection when moving across a corporate network. Additionally, data is protected when backed up to tape, so that even when moved off-site, the information is secure. 4. Are you introducing x64-bit servers into your environment? Backup Exec 11d is able to run on x64-bit backup or media servers and is also able to back up protected 32-bit and x64-bit clients. 5. Are you afraid of incomplete backups? Now included at no additional charge, the Advanced Open File Option agent helps ensure that files on Microsoft Windows Small Business Server are protected even while in use. The Symantec Backup Exec Advanced Open File Option handles open files at the volume level and is seamlessly integrated into Backup Exec software. There is no need to know ahead of time which files are open; to use this option, just set a scheduled backup with a simple mouse click. 6. Do you want to protect the data on the local hard drives of desktops and laptops? Most businesses rely on users to manually copy business-critical data to a server. When users do not comply, the majority of business-critical information residing on employee workstations, desktops, and laptops does not get protected. Now included at no additional charge, the Desktop and Laptop Option delivers continuous data protection to desktops and laptops whether in the office or on the road. In addition to improving data protection and efficiency, this option enables users to restore their own files, and maintains synchronization between multiple desktops and laptops so that the most up-to-date file versions are available on all of a user s computers. 7. Are you interested in creating custom reports for your backup jobs? The new custom reporting engine in Backup Exec 11d allows you to: Create custom reports using queries and expressions; choosing fields, categories, and sort order Design graphical layout or standard report format Print or save in the following formats: PDF HTML Microsoft Excel XML Comma Separated Value (CSV) 3

4 8. Are you spending too much time administering the backup jobs? Some significant improvements in Backup Exec 11d include: Media used during backups are now logged in the Job Log Added media label to the text of the alert notification for inventory and media label jobs Catalogs can now be retained for up to 99 years All jobs can now be placed on hold at one time New job filters to limit the jobs that appear in Job Setup, Job Monitor, and Alerts Security Information Restore to only restore file and folder permissions without restoring the entire file or folder Incomplete Catalog Recovery allows single media to be restored from even if the backup spanned to missing media 9. Does your current backup software include WORM support? Backup Exec 11d supports Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) tape devices that are used to archive data that requires a long retention period. 10. Does your current backup software proactively notify you and install the latest patches, updates, and service packs? Backup Exec 11d is integrated with Symantec LiveUpdate, and updates can be performed on-demand or on a scheduled basis. 11. Do you need basic system recovery capability? Backup Exec 11d comes bundled with an enhanced Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option that allows you to recover downed systems in a much shorter time period compared with manual disaster recovery. Some enhancements include: New disaster recovery wizard that now allows a system to be recovered with its most recent backups Local backup-to-disk support New faster (streamlined) method of carrying out the disaster recovery process Removed floppy-based prep Additional sales opportunities Would you like advanced system recovery capability that helps you restore any Windows system anytime, from anywhere, to virtually any device in minutes? Backup software is a solution for data protection and recovery. In case of a disaster, your systems the operating system(s), service packs, applications, drivers, etc. must be up and running before data can be recovered. You also need a method to quickly recover from a disaster instead of having to manually rebuild the systems in the event of a failure. Backup Exec System Recovery is optimized for system protection and works equally well to protect Windows systems in Backup Exec environments or in environments that do not incorporate Backup Exec. [See the call script for Backup Exec System Recovery for additional information.] In a small business environment, where the number of servers is limited and each server is multifunctional, it is extremely critical to be able to get the server up and running after a disaster. While backup software protects the data, the system itself needs to be recovered before data can be accessed. Even though Backup Exec 11d for Windows Small Business Server editions include the Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option, which greatly speeds up the process, it is well worth the investment to get Backup Exec System Recovery Small Business Server Edition, as it goes beyond the IDR Option. It enables system restoration in minutes to completely dissimilar hardware and even to virtual environments. Are you current on support (maintenance)?

By empowering end users with the ability to retrieve their own files, IT resources are freed up to focus on other business-critical needs in the organization.
