Only the relevant options for the selected system are presented for data restorationĬonsidering BE2012 was launched over two years ago, it's a big ask to forgive Symantec for taking so long to sort out its flagship backup software.
SYMANTEC BACKUP EXEC 2014 RECOVERY DISK MANUAL
If you don't want to run manual DR you'll need to apply the BE2014 Service Pack 1 which adds SDR support for these host systems. In the first release of BE2014, the SDR environment is based on Windows PE 4 and doesn't support Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1. To use the new simplified disaster recovery (SDR) feature, you'll need to download the 3GB Microsoft Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) so you can create ISO files for restoring protected systems. For our standard servers, we were given options to restore files and folders whereas on our Exchange system we had additional choices for restoring the datastore or individual mailbox items. On completion, we saw that the 90GB of data on the host has been reduced on the target to only 35GB.ĭata restoration is more streamlined as when you select a server, BE2014 only presents you with the relevant options for this system. To test deduplication performance we backed up a Windows 8.1 client to an IP SAN target with this enabled. Arcserve Backup is far better value as it includes deduplication in the core product at no extra charge. The only drawback is this is an optional feature costing around 400 extra. The console provides a detailed overview of all backup activity and status of storage devicesįor deduplication, we created a special Disk Storage device with this feature enabled. Jobs can be modified prior to release so you can edit the backup sources and destinations, change the schedules, replace incrementals with differentials and add further stages if you wish.
