Solution Components
PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance powered by Symantec Backup Exec
Dell has simplified the backup process by offering the only integrated hardware, software and services solution
powered by Symantec Backup Exec. The PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance comes factory installed with
Symantec Backup Exec software and a unique wizard driven set up and management utility. The backup software
comes with integrated automated dynamic disk provisioning that configures and sets up the disks for immediate
use. Set it up, configure storage, add more disks – it only takes a few clicks.
Advanced Disk-based Backup Option (ADBO)
Enables faster backups and restores through advanced disk-based backup and recovery, including Synthetic and Off-
Host backups to perform zero impact backups. Synthetic backups reduce backup windows and network bandwidth
requirements and do not impact the original client. New true image restore functionality automatically restores data
sets sequentially, simplifying restores. The Off-Host backup feature enables better backup performance and frees
the remote computer by processing the backup operation of the remote computer on a Backup Exec media server
instead of on the remote computer or host computer.
Advanced Open File Option
The Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers Advanced Open File Option (AOFO) uses advanced open file and
image technologies designed to alleviate issues that are sometimes encountered during backup operations, such as
protecting open files and managing shortened backup windows.
Agent for Windows Systems
The Remote Agent is a system service that runs on remote Windows servers and workstations. The Remote Agent
provides faster backup processing by locally performing tasks that in typical backup technologies that require
extensive network interaction. The Remote Agent processes backup data into a continuous stream that the media
server then processes as a single task. This method provides better data transfer rates over traditional technologies,
which require multiple requests and acknowledgments between the media server and the remote server.
