BE 15 Delivers Day Zero Support for Microsoft Windows 10 Client
Leading the pack and staying ahead of the game,Backup Exec 15 exceeds expectations delivering Zero Day support for Microsoft Windows 10 Client. Just a few weeks back we released BE 15 Feature Pack 1 (FP1) with manyimprovements and new features. And now with thousands of successful installations and fantastic feedback, we continue to focus on delivering real customer value and timely platform support. With the release of FP1 we decided to double down with our Agile approach and inpreparationfor Microsoft’sannouncementof Windows 10 Client. We set out to lay the foundation to supportWindows Client 10 and putting us in position to outpace our competitors. Let me say until today (July 29th,2015), not one vendor could claim zero day support becauseMicrosoft has been very busy deliveringnew daily builds and up until the very last minute. Thus we needed to make sure the work that went into FP1 passed ourstringenttesting. We did it! For customers running BE 15.FP1 you are now able to protect any Windows 10 client machine both physical or virtual, simply pushing out the agent to the target machine. Once installed you can easily backup and restore your valuable data hosted on a Windows 10 client machine. Now that we havedelivered basic support for Windows 10 client, we are off working on a few other important components including Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR), which at the moment you’ll need to follow the technote and run a manual disaster recovery. http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH212802 Q&A Question: Do you support an SDR restore? Answer: Not at this time. Again, in the meantime please refer to thearticlehttp://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH212802which will guide you through the process.

Question: Can I install the Remote Administrator Console for Backup Exec 15-FP1? Answer:Yes, installing theRemote Administrator Console lets you administer the Backup Exec server from a remote Windows server or workstation. Question: Is client / server side deduplicaton supported? Answer: Yes, it has been tested and it is supported. Question: How do I know if I have the latest version that supports Microsoft Windows 10 Client? Answer: From your Backup Exec 15 server simply run live update and you’ll receive the latest update.
