Backup Exec 2012 enhancements

robnicholson
Level 6

Does anyone know if any of following have been addressed/implemented by BE 2012:

  1. Advanced disk backup option can handle DFS. ADBO allows one to carry out a weekly full and then daily incremental backups. Upon restore, BE works out which of the incremental backups it needs to re-synthesise the folder
  2. Dedupe backup of Exchange GRT. BE 2010 simply dumps raw EDB & LOG files in the dedupe folder which means it isn't taking advantage of dedupe
  3. Improved dedupe backup performance, e.g. adaptive multi-threaded agent plus server side SQL performance improvements - aim to get dedupe speed closer to B2D
  4. Better backup performance for DFS
  5. Ability to restore back to DFS system directly without causing DFS replication to re-start/reset
  6. Improved dedupe resiliance or at least a tool to repair broken dedupe systems
  7. Mirroring of backup system to a passive remote site
  8. Multiple deduplication storage areas on single media server (although it #4 is done, less of a requirement)
  9. Much improved error messages and diagnostics? For example, no cryptic mention of the world of tapes on a pure disk based backup system

This is the start of our project to review our backup methodology.

Thanks, Rob.

Not sure if you are aware of this or not. Might be a good idea to hop onto this programme, especially since you were 1 of the guys who posted issues with this particular version.

Thanks!
