Features/Benefits Highlights
Provides Continuous Data Protection
Backup Exec provides real‐time protection of Windows file servers. The instant that files are changed or created,
they are protected by Backup Exec CPS technology. After the first copy of a file is protected, only the changed
portion of that file is protected—at the block level—by CPS. This efficient data protection technology reduces the
amount of data moving across the network and the amount of data to protect—and recover. Additionally, Backup
Exec CPS enables IT and end users to retrieve not only the current version of files, but also previous versions.
Provides Web‐Based File Retrieval
Backup Exec includes Backup Exec Retrieve, a simple Web‐based file retrieval that lets users retrieve their own
files—without IT intervention. Searching is simple because files are indexed by name and type. No other data
protection solution offers this simplicity or functionality. Because it uses a standard Web browser to enable users to
retrieve lost, overwritten, or corrupted files, there is no software to install or update on individual workstations.
Recovering a file or its previous versions is as easy as clicking a link to download a file from the Internet, including
previous versions of files. It is simple to deploy, easy to use, and helps improve service levels without addition
administration overhead.
Provides a Total Solution
Equipped with Backup Exec CPS, Backup Exec combines continuous disk‐based data protection with tape‐based data
protection management, providing comprehensive disk‐to‐disk‐to‐tape functionality. Administrators can monitor
continuous protection jobs from the Backup Exec administration console.
Does Not Require Active Directory or SQL
Backup Exec CPS software can run by itself on a stand‐alone server or on the same server with Backup Exec for
Windows Servers. It does not require any other Microsoft servers or components to run and it does not require the
protection server to be in the same domain as the file servers it backs up.
Provides Bandwidth Throttling
Administrators can manage and control network resource use by granting the maximum bandwidth continuous
protection can use for either LANs or WANs. This helps administrators, especially those looking to eliminate
hardware, media, and administration in remote offices and to centralize data protection, ensure that data is
continuously protected with minimal disruption to ongoing business activities.
