At the core of the Backup Exec system is the Backup Exec Media Server, which controls the backup media (disk, network attached storage, or tape). The media server's administration console provides an intuitive interface and wizards to simplify installation, setup, backup, recovery, media management, disaster preparation, cluster installation, and agent configuration.
Administrators can define policies to manage backup jobs and strategies. Policies contain job templates with attributes that define how and when Backup Exec processes a job.
Agents and options extend platform and feature support for Backup Exec environments. An unlimited number of these agents can be used within a network, allowing for multiple instances of agents to protect several servers. Click the following link for a list of all Backup Exec agents and options. The version of Backup Exec available
through SOCIALware includes all of the available agents and options.
Other capabilities include the following:
- Because continuous data protection backs up data residing on file servers as it changes, open files are protected, and incremental or differential backups are not needed.
- Integration with Symantec ThreatCon, a measurement of global threat exposure, allows Backup Exec users to view security threat reports and set proactive backup to be triggered when global threats reach or exceed a specified level.
- A web-based search engine enables end users to retrieve previous versions of files stored on the file server from the Internet without contacting IT.
- Automated alerts can be sent via Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, SMTP email, pager, printer, net send broadcast, or network monitoring applications.
- Configurable 128-bit and 256-bit encryption is available when data is being backed up or stored on tape.
