Customers who use both Backup Exec Archiving and the Backup Exec Deduplication Option will end up with 2 unique
stores of deduplicated data – the Deduplicated Storage Folder, where deduplicated backup data is stored, and the
Vault, where deduplicated Archive data is stored.
Backup and Recovery of Backup Exec Archiving Options
Backup Exec provides integrated Backup and Recovery functions for both Backup Exec Archive Options. Backup Exec
provides this feature at no charge for disaster recovery purposes. This feature is accessed through the Backup Exec
Admin Console. See Figure 2 for a view of Backup Exec’s Job Properties and selections for backing up Archive Option
components.

Offering an Integrated Backup and Archiving Application
Archiving can offer IT administrators a number of valuable benefits. Keeping storage growth in check on high-value
storage arrays – like those used in Exchange environments – can save companies money. Moving data from high-
value SAN or SCSI direct-attached storage to slower (and cheaper) SATA or iSCSI arrays makes a good deal of
business sense. Since deduplication is an integral part of the Archive, additional storage savings can be realized on
those cheaper storage arrays. Coupled with Backup Exec 2010’s Deduplication Option, both backup and archiving
can achieve significant storage savings. The ability to apply retention policies allows business the ability to comply
with internal or external record retention requirements. The downstream benefits of archiving - reduce backup
windows, shorten recovery times, and optimizing storage resources – also make a great deal of business sense.
Backup Exec 2010, with the release of the new Archive Option for Exchange Mailboxes or the Archive Option for File
Servers, can help businesses achieve these benefits.
