New Beta for Backup Exec

Great...hope i get on this Beta...is this open to anybody?

Thanks James!

There are a few exceptions based on country of origin and generally we recommend you have some prior 'backup admin' experience (though not necessarily with Backup Exec), but we only really screen to make sure you aren't a terrorist or export law violator.  :)

Dear James,

   May I know if there is location for new features and requirement? We are interested upgrading to the newer version in the future. AS we are refreshing all backup devices and media server. We need to ensure the new equipment are certified and fulifill the requirement of the upcoming version.

thanks

@CraigV South Africa does not have any specific export restrictions for the USA

@Yan I'm afraid I can't go into more detail than what I provided above for now. But you are welcome to email me using the link in the Blog post to sign up for the program.

thanks James, hoping to be part of the Beta program

Sign me up - I have had MUCh quality time with both BE and Netbackup. And I still have hair ;-)

Signed up - will do what testing I can.

Signed up too.

Hope to get into the Beta Program, as I really would like to find some bugs in a secure testing environment rather than on site at the customer again. ;)

best regards

Dominik

I signed up as well...

Being a real backup admin customer, using dedup full features, and struggling with it, I just hope the integration with pure disk can be really improved and effective, otherwise it will make this feature totally useless.

Only alternative would be to get back on NetApp and friends appliances.

Cheers,

Bob

I don't really want to join a beta program - I just want to know when the release is scheduled for?

Dedupe performance in my case is very lack lustre across the SAN on a dedicated high spec media server (dual 12-core cpu, 32gb ram) - Combined max dedupe across 4 concurrent jobs is 2GB/min

Hello,

I work as pre Sales in france and I would like to have this beta version.

thanks in advance.

Thaaaaaaaanx

hope i can test it to know about new features.

Thanks.

James put me on the beta list please.

Cheers

Hi James

I'm particularly interested in joining the Beta Testing, but I would appreciate obtaining confirmation on whether SBS 2011 is supported or not and when the Release is scheduled for.
