The World's First Windows NT and Windows 2000 Backup Solution

Most companies are dependent on the use of computer applications such as email, ERP and decision support. With this comes the explosion of data and the demand for reliable data protection. The protection of mission critical information in today's Windows NT and Windows 2000 environment requires a backup solution that is reliable and scalable to support the needs of any type network. Since Windows was first introduced, more businesses have selected Backup Exec as their Windows backup solution than any other product in the world. In fact, Microsoft utilizes Backup Exec for protecting corporate data worldwide.

Protecting data should be as easy as creating the data. Backup Exec provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface, along with wizards to walk any level user through the tasks of defining and configuring backup policies and schedules. Built in virus scanning and elimination ensures that only virus-free files are backed up and secured.

With Backup Exec's advanced device and media management capabilities, it is very easy to configure tape devices and libraries to efficiently manage and maximize the use of stored information. Adhering to Microsoft standards and utilizing VERITAS exclusive Agent Accelerator technology, ensures optimal performance in backing up and recovering business critical data.

Lastly, Backup Exec has lead the industry in Storage Area Network (SAN) technology by providing tape virtualization via the SAN Shared Storage Option^TM (SAN SSO) that allows tape drives to be dynamically shared amongst backup servers. This improves backup and recovery performance by providing "LAN free" movement of data while lowering overall tape hardware expenditures.

Exclusive Features of Backup Exec for Windows NT and Windows 2000 include:

• The first Microsoft Certified backup application for Windows 2000.
• The only solution which reads and writes to the Microsoft backup utility.
• SAN tape device sharing among Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Novell NetWare servers.
• Individual Mailbox, Mail Message, and folder level recovery for Microsoft Exchange.
• Centralized administration and policy management of multiple Backup Exec servers.
• Only Windows NT and Windows 2000 disaster recovery option which restores servers to the most recent backup.
• Online database protection for Microsoft Exchange 2000 and SQL Server 2000.

Redefining NetWare Data Protection

Computer networks are ubiquitous in business today. They are used for everything, from performing file and print services to running business critical applications. What impact does a network outage, server crash, or disk failure have on a business? Most businesses cannot tolerate even the slightest outage, which could result in both loss of revenue and employee productivity. This is why Backup Exec for NetWare was developed, to provide safe and reliable data protection for Novell NetWare environments.

No one is more committed to the NetWare market than VERITAS. Backup Exec has introduced many firsts in the NetWare market, including the first NetWare 3, 4 and 5 certified solution, SAN support and bare metal server recovery. In fact, Novell internally utilizes Backup Exec as their data protection solution.

Implementing Backup Exec for NetWare is easy thanks to the automated installation process and intuitive Windows and server based administration interfaces. Complete support for NetWare Directory Support is included along with support of NetWare 5 NSS. Since backup windows are a thing of the past for most installations, Backup Exec provides an open file option that provides consistent point-in-time backup of files while they are in use.

Catastrophic failures of a NetWare server where not only the application and user data must be recovered but the OS and configuration data too can be a daunting task. The Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) option of Backup Exec automates and reduces by half the number of steps required to recreate a NetWare server. In addition, the IDR option provides an exclusive feature not found in any other NetWare backup solution, the ability to recover the server with a full, incremental, differential or working set backup.

Exclusive Features of Backup Exec for NetWare include:

• SAN tape device sharing among both Windows NT and Novell NetWare.
• Disk and tape based catalogs for reliability.
• Disaster recovery from diskette, CD R/W or bootable tape.
• Working set backup for identification and protection of most recently accessed files.
