MEDIA SERVER OPTIONS
Desktop and Laptop Option
Protecting critical data on users’ desktops or laptops is
a challenge for any IT organization because existing
policies are not effective. With the introduction of the
Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO), VERITAS delivers
effective, high-performance data protection to
desktops and laptops for continuous backup protection
whether in the office or on the road. By automatically
copying user data to existing network share, this new
option enables users to restore their own files and
maintain synchronization between multiple desktops
and laptops. The Desktop and Laptop Option easily
integrates into existing IT infrastructure and policies,
helping to lower the total cost of ownership.
Admin Plus Pack Option
Exercise greater control of remote Backup Exec
servers on the network with components designed to
ease management of distributed backup servers.
Features include the ability to clone and remotely
install media servers as well as copy jobs, selection
lists and job templates between media servers. This
option provides 24 management reports and advanced
capabilities such as report scheduling and e-mailing
output to recipients.
ENHANCED! Advanced Open File Option
*
Ensure that files on local or remote servers are
protected even while in use. The VERITAS Backup
Exec Advanced Open File Option handles open files at
the volume level and is seamlessly integrated into
Backup Exec software. There is no need to know
which files are open ahead of time; just set a
scheduled backup to use this option with a simple
mouse click. Advanced technology also integrates the
ability to detect and leverage alternate frozen image
technologies such as Microsoft Volume Snapshot
Service (VSS) on Windows Servers 2003 or VERITAS
Volume Manager FlashSnap for increased
application availability.
