    Hi,

    We have created a series of documents that cover what Software Changes (SCN) have taken place. You can access these documents here:

    SCN External SSR - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157316

    SCN External SSR-L - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157319

    SCN External SSR-MS - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH157313

     

    In addition, here's a list of the new features:

    Updated support for the latest Microsoft® Windows®, Linux, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer operating systems and applications: With Symantec System Recovery 2011, we continue to build on our proven track record of comprehensive system protection for the latest Windows, Linux, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer operating systems and applications including: SharePoint® 2010, Exchange 2010 SP1, SQL 2008 R2, VMware vSphere™ 4.1, VMware ESX® 3.5 update 5, Citrix XenServer 5.6, SUSE® Linux® Enterprise Server 10 SP3, 11 and 11 SP1 and Red Hat® Linux® 5.4, 5.5 and 6.0.

    Enhanced Symantec System Recovery Management Solution: The Symantec System Recovery Management Solution is a highly scalable centralized management solution designed to centrally manage large numbers of Symantec System Recovery clients from a single management server. The Symantec System Recovery Management Solution can manage up to 2,500 systems per console and can now be installed to and hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server.

    Enhanced customizable recovery disk wizard: Additional flexibility has been added to the customizable recovery disk wizard with the option to select an .ISO image as the source for a custom recovery disk. This is especially helpful for larger organizations that already utilize a customized version of the Symantec System Recovery Disk and would like to use it as the source for future modifications to their recovery environment.

    All-in-one backup and recovery USB device: With new wizard functionality, you can easily transform a USB device into a bootable Symantec System Recovery Disk device to help reduce boot time and speed up the recovery process.  Adding this boot functionality to a USB device is a non-destructive process, allowing USB devices enabled to be bootable recovery devices to also act as backup storage—creating an all-in-one backup and recovery device.

     

    Hope this helps, let me know if we can help you further.

    Thanks, Kate

    Hi,

    I just tried the links and they worked fine. Please copy and past the URL into your browser as opposed to clicking on the link.

    Let me know if that works for you.

    Thanks, Kate
