Product similarities and differences?
Hi.
What are the similarities and differences between the following products:
1. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite v2.5
2. Symantec Backup Exec 2015
3. Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 ...
1) Ghost is mainly used for PC imaging and deployment. It is not a backup & recovery software. It cannot be compared with BE and SSR.
BE is a file-level backup software, whereas SSR is sector-based (block level).
BE can backup to Disk, Tape, Cloud, whereas SSR can backup only to Disk.
BE is a more comphrensive Backup & Recovery software than SSR. SSR is quicker when it comes to recovering a server asap, however BE offers more advanced options for non-DR restores as well. Both can restore to dissimilar hardware and offers features such as P2V.
