EV10 Backup Exec agent

[GeoffRose]

Hi

Can you tell me if the Backup Exec agent for Enterprise Vault supports the new version 10 now?

We are looking at implementing a new EV10 system for a client but I want to make sure we can back it up properly.

Thanks,

Geoff.

BE2010 R3 supports EV10.

Refer to SCL  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH137682

Yes, you can find it in the SCL of BE2010/R2/R3:

Thanks - I checked the administrator guide for R3 and it only mentions v7 and v8

Why does it say that EV10 is x86-32bit?

[AmolB]

From the SCL

Enterprise vault is a 32 bit application. It runs in WOW mode if installed on a 64 bit Operating System

[GeoffRose]

EV10 is 64bit

Advanced Infrastructure and Manageability

• New 64-bit index engine improves scalability, adds flexible configuration options, and improves search for end users and Discovery Accelerat

I just had a chat with one of our EV team and he has indicated that whilst some of EV 10 is true 64 bit, most of it stil uses 32bit running in WOW.

[GeoffRose]

Well the heart of it is the indexing engine - so it probably does have parts running in WOW but I would say they are minor - I think you can definitely call it 64bit not 32.

According to the release notes

New 64-bit indexing engine

Enterprise Vault 10.0 includes a new, 64-bit, indexing engine. To take advantage of the new engine, Enterprise Vault has undergone a significant redesign of its indexing and search components and now runs on 64-bit systems only.
