Symantec said a new NetBackup 7.5 feature called Accelerator can vastly speed backup times by using snapshots instead of full backups to protect data. Again, physical machines can be added to the virtual machine backups.

The update adds a new feature called Virtual Machine Intelligent Policy (VIP) that can automatically detect and back up new, moved, or cloned virtual machines, using deduplication to reduce the amount of data stored. Like Backup Exec 2012, NetBackup 7.5 includes Symantec's new V-Ray feature, which allows storage administrators to consolidate the backup console's view of VMware and Hyper V virtual machines. The service will initially be available in the United States and will focus on rapid recovery for VMware environments.Ī new Backup Exec 3600 appliance is described as an all-in-one product that comes with 5.5 TB of usable disk storage that is set up to backup an unlimited number of servers and applications, whether physical or virtual.
The Doyenz DR option allows users to leverage cloud recovery for planned and unplanned system recovery in the cloud. Symantec also offers Backup Exec 2012 users the option of using a cloud disaster recovery service from Doyenz Inc. "This is a cloud-based backup for customers who may not have IT expertise," Fisher said. Symantec's new Backup Exec.cloud offering is a new software-as-a-service offering that allows business to set up cloud storage. The company also announced Backup Exec 2010 Small Business Edition, which allows firms with one to three servers to set up and execute backups in three steps.īackup Exec Small Business Edition offers a simplified management interface that brings backup and data recovery under one console with a single license.
"We're going to create a more unified state of backup by tying things together in Backup Exec." The average customer has seven different backup solutions," Fisher said. "The current approach to backup is not working. The new disaster recovery features also allow entire virtual machines, single files, Active Directory objects, Exchange Emails, or SharePoint Documents from any single-pass physical, VMware or Hyper-V backup to be recovered. Symantec said it also added bare metal backups and restore disaster recovery capabilities into Backup Exec 2012, which allow a failed system to be recovered to a physical server, or to a Hyper-V or VMware machine. Not just more efficient recovery," Amatruda said.Ī so-called V-Ray Edition of Backup Exec 2012 can back up data on virtual machines running either VMware and Microsoft's HyperV.Īdditionally, backup administrators can add physical machines to V-Ray's backup capability policy, Fisher said, and manage both environments through a single console view. "These are feature sets that may have existed in other products, but in v7.5 they're allowing you to kick off snapshots much more efficiently and also leverage that process to do things like eDiscovery.
