Providing self help recovery portal for user to file level recovery

Hi Albert,

BE Retrieve won't work with BE 2010. As far as I know, it was an old legacy application that worked with older versions.

BE 2010 and BE 2010 R2 can archive data, using BE Retrieve technology. This would be the only way for your users to get data back themselves without troubling the administrators.

That said, it means you need to license your media server for archiving, if this is the route you wanted to go.

You CAN make some super users BE operators, but that is entirely up to you. Note that with this, you don't have the ability to restrict the rights these operators would have to BE...they can do everything a normal admin can do in BE. This would mean though, that the archiving option wouldn't be needed, and BE's Remote Console is a free addition.

Laters!

Craig, many thanks for the very quick response :-)

"archive data, using BE Retrieve technology" --> since it is not supported in the new R2, so in this case I'll implement your suggestion of "BE Remote Console", does this means the super user must install BE 2010 R2 console only on his PC ?

Backup Exec retrieve is a component of Backup Exec System Recovery Manager. Will be installed at the same time you install BESRM server. Backup Exec Retrieve communicates with the Indexing Server component on client computers to let users recover their own files from the Backup Exec Retrieve Web page.
