Symantec Backup Exec for Windows System Recovery Option

[David_Glasgow]

Guys

Any one got any info on how this works with BE11d?  I have been searching hi and low on the Symantec website and can't find anything of use.

What I want to know is that if purchased as an option, is the job fully managed from within the BE Console, or do you still have to use the System Recovery console on each server?

Also when purchased as an option for BE, is it the full product, or it is missing features like the convert to Virtual Disk Etc?

Thanks

David

Hi There

Backup Exec System Recovery is a separate option. It has no integration with Backup Exec. You still have to use the BESR console to manage.

Also when purchased as an option for BE, is it the full product, or it is missing features like the convert to Virtual Disk Etc?

When BESR is purchased it is the full product.

When you buy Backup Exec System Recvoery Option it will NOT be full featured. It will have the main functions and will include physcial to virtual and different hardware restore.

David,

If you purchase it as an option with Backup Exec this is what you will get:

This is the link for the full purchase out side of Backup Exec for Windows Systems:

Hopefully that will clear up any confusion on the BESR.
