Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 Desktop Edition
 
Symantec Backup Exec™ System Recovery 8.5 is an easy sale to customers looking for a painless, single-step disaster recovery solution for Windows servers, desktops and laptops. This disk-based solution allows organizations to restore complete systems in minutes, not hours or days, even to dissimilar hardware or virtual environments. It includes support for the latest virtual environments, VMware ESX 3.5 and Microsoft Hyper-V, and has expanded support for the latest Microsoft operating system environments: Windows Small Business Server 2008, Windows Essential Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008.

As a complementary, yet standalone solution to Backup Exec for Windows Servers, Backup Exec System Recovery provides an excellent growth opportunity for Symantec partners in two areas: existing Backup Exec customers who are seeking a system recovery solution, and customers running competitive products for data recovery and are looking for a system recovery solution. By selling Backup Exec and Backup Exec System Recovery together, customers receive complete data and system protection.

Additionally, partners can increase revenue in each deal by adding the Granular Restore Option which provides granular recovery of Exchange messages, SharePoint documents or files and folders from a single interface and by cross-selling with Symantec Endpoint Protection. You can also add services to each sale by offering to copy your customers' backups to your FTP location providing them with offsite disaster recovery capabilities. For customers with multiple servers, a centralized management option is available that allows the partner or the customer to manage multiple devices in multiple sites from a single console.

  • New capabilities in Backup Exec System Recovery Manager - From a central location IT Administrators can configure off-site copy capabilities and schedule physical-to-virtual system conversions for remote servers, desktops and laptops.
