Using a search engine
If you have a desktop search engine, such as Google Desktop, you can configure
your backups to create recovery points that are searchable.
Note: If your organization uses Symantec Backup Exec Web Retrieve, it is likely
that your network administrator has already enabled this feature.
You can configure your backups to support one of these search engines. Be sure
to check the Enable search engine support at the time you define the backup.
See “To define a drive-based backup” on page 57.
See “About using a search engine to search recovery points” on page 175.
