backup performance, exclusive use of Volume Shadow

protection eliminate the daily backup window for Exchange
backup jobs and enable recovery of individual mailboxes,
messages, and folders in seconds from a single backup.
Exchange “mailbox or MAPI” backups are no longer
required to restore granular Exchange data—so the

is significantly lower. Plus, Granular Recovery Technology
enabled backups can now be easily stored to a remote or
removable disk drive or off to a storage area network (SAN)
to further optimize your backup and recovery strategy.

full bare-metal recovery to dissimilar hardware and even
virtual environments for servers, desktops, or laptops,
allowing businesses and IT to recover from system loss or
disaster in minutes, not hours or days.
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Option captures
a recovery point of the entire live Windows system—
including operating system, applications, system settings,
configurations, and files—without affecting productivity.
This recovery point can be conveniently saved to various
media or disk storage devices, including SAN, NAS, direct-
attached storage, RAID, and CD/DVD. When a system
fails, it can be quickly restored without the need for
manual, lengthy, and error-prone processes, helping IT
administrators meet recovery time objectives,
For simplified administration and centralized
management for larger organizations, as well as
enhanced Exchange and SharePoint protection, consider
using Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8 Server
Edition.
