environments. With intuitive
wizards, insightful dashboards and radically fast backup and recovery, Backup Exec easily enables you to improve your
backup performance, meet their recovery objectives, reduce management costs, secure confidential data and
eliminate traditional backup complexity.
Backup Exec 15 delivers powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use backup and recovery that
is designed for your entire infrastructure regardless of platform: virtual, physical or
cloud. With Backup Exec, you get fast, reliable backup and recovery of data and
systems at every level and advanced integration with the most recent releases of
VMware vSphere and Hyper-V. In a matter of minutes, you can recover anything
including VMs, applications, databases, files, folders and singular application objects.
Protect one to thousands of virtual machines and servers all from the same user
console for optimal performance and efficiency. Backup Exec saves time, money and
helps ensure your critical information is always protected and easily recoverable.
Powerful
When you can solve more problems, with less complexity, you have a simple yet
powerful solution to meet your every need. Backup Exec can help you meet backup
windows, reduce data protection costs, secure confidential data, optimize your
existing storage and eliminate outdated and siloed backup and recovery complexity.
Fast and reliable backup and
recovery – Backup Exec enables you
to meet your recovery time and recovery point objectives by significantly
reducing the time it takes to backup and recover your data. With Backup Exec
you can mitigate the risk and cost of downtime by using a wide variety of
flexible backup and recovery methods. Whether you are using disk, tape or
cloud your data is protected and easily recoverable.
Advanced integration with VMware and Hyper-V
– Backup Exec offers complete
protection for your virtual environment and Software-Defined Data Center
including new Software-Defined Storage features like VMware Virtual SAN (5.5 and
6.0) and Virtual Volumes. Recover what you need, when and where you need it. In
addition, you can easily create stand-by virtual copies of your physical systems for
disaster recovery in minutes or for general P2V migrations. Backup Exec also
addresses VM sprawl by automatically identifying and protecting new VMs as they
appear so you can be assured your VMs are protected from day one.
Save more, store less – Backup Exec’s flexible global data deduplication helps you
solve for growing data challenges, regardless of how much your data changes. It
minimizes backup windows, decreases network traffic, and reduces the disk space
required for storing backup data. Backup Exec deduplicates across all your virtual and physical backup jobs, eliminating the
need for purchasing multiple solutions and managing separate storage silos.
Flexible
Not every backup solution has the flexibility to protect your environment while also
delivering agile recovery. Backup Exec protects both virtual and physical architectures
and can backup anything to virtually any storage device and can restore anywhere.
From VMs, to entire servers, applications, single files and folders or
granular application objects, Backup Exec is the single solution for all of your needs.
Virtual and physical data protection
in a single solution – Lowering
costs and simplifying backup tasks starts with deploying a single solution
that is designed for your entire infrastructure regardless of platform:
virtual, physical or cloud. Deeply integrated with VMware, Microsoft and
Linux platforms, Backup Exec can protect one to thousands of servers and
virtual machines all from the same user console, providing optimal
performance and efficiency. Scalability is an important consideration in
backup and recovery, and Backup Exec will support you as your organization
grows.
Hybrid architectures to disk, tape,
and cloud – Backup Exec provides
the flexibility to protect VMware, Hyper-V, or other virtualization
platforms, in addition to Microsoft and Linux-based physical machines,
whether local or remote. When it comes to storing critical data, Backup Exec
has flexible options so you can backup to virtually any storage device
including disk, tape, hosted storage, or public cloud such as the Amazon Web
Service (AWS) Gateway VTL.
Fast, efficient, and versatile
recovery – Backup Exec provides
fast, agile recovery with the ability to recover data at any level, “from
anywhere, to anywhere” with a single pass backup. Backup Exec doesn’t
require multiple backup passes to achieve different levels of restore
granularity. In a few simple clicks, you can recover anything from virtual
machines and physical servers. This includes entire applications and
individual objects, files, folders, and granular application items from
Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, and SharePoint. Backup Exec
intelligently indexes and catalogs backup data so you don’t waste valuable time
and disk space mounting backup jobs, determining what’s inside, and searching
for specific data. Backup Exec efficiently restores data directly from the backup,
which simplifies and speeds up recovery when you need it most. Backup Exec also
provides built-in disaster recovery (DR) for physical and virtual systems to help
minimize downtime, mitigate risk and eliminate business disruption. In the event
of a disaster, Backup Exec can recover an entire server from a bare metal state to
the same hardware or dissimilar hardware in minutes – not hours or days. It can
also convert your physical servers or their backups into virtual machines. The
result of this conversion is a fully recoverable backup set and a completely
functional virtual machine for immediate use.
Easy to Use
Complex backup and recovery products can be inefficient, time consuming, and expensive to manage. Through intuitive
wizards and insightful dashboards, Backup Exec is easy to implement, use and manage, whether you are upgrading from a
previous version or switching from a competitive product.
Easy to manage - Quickly track and monitor every backup
and recovery job through an easy to use interface with intuitive dashboards
and wizards. In a few simple clicks, you can set backup jobs, view backup
status, and perform quick recoveries. Rather than using complex policies,
save time and simplify the implementation of backup protection with a visual
workflow that lets you replicate data on-premise, off-site or to the cloud.
In addition, Backup Exec’s centralized administration console delivers
scalable management of distributed sites and reduces the time and resources
needed to manage your backup operations.
Superior visibility
- Backup Exec gives you visibility into your entire backup and recovery
infrastructure so that you can take action when needed. Easily perform a
granular search of backed up data including mailbox data by subject,
Microsoft SQL databases by name, or SharePoint data by document name.
Configure Backup Exec to intelligently browse the network and discover
servers, VMs and application data at risk.
Flexible licensing - Backup Exec 15 is a cost effective backup
and recovery solution that’s easy to acquire, license, and deploy. Flexible
licensing options for on-premise software include per TB, per socket or per
module (agents and options). With Backup Exec you benefit from the ability
to choose the right licensing model for your environment – all at affordable
prices.

10 reasons to upgrade to Veritas
Backup Exec™ 15 today!
If your organization is like many others,
you’re facing an increasingly complex backup and restore dilemma for your
environment—whether virtual, physical or a combination of both. Backup ExecTM 15
is designed to remedy that complexity by delivering a backup and recovery
solution that meets your needs, with a host of powerful features that will help
you save time, get more reliable backups, fast, easy recoveries, and reduce
costs.
Here are 10 reasons you’ll want to start using Backup Exec 15
to protect your environment.
Incredibly fast.
In fact, Backup Exec 15 delivers backup and data deduplication faster than previous versions*. It doesn’t
matter if you’re backing up physical servers, VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines—you’ll get reliable
backup and recovery in less time than you thought possible. With faster backup speeds, Backup Exec helps
you reduce your backup windows and saves you time.
Store less with efficient deduplication.
Backup Exec 15 helps you keep pace with growing data volumes with integrated, block level, data deduplication.
Unlike point solutions that deduplicate data per backup job, you’ll get greater storage savings with
Backup Exec 15’s data deduplication technology that deduplicates data across your entire virtual and/or
physical environment. For even greater efficiency and enhanced storage savings, Backup Exec 15 includes
change block tracking that only backs up the blocks that have changed, rather than backing up every block
of every VM in the infrastructure.
Easy to use.
Backup Exec 15 comes complete with an
easy-to-use interface with intelligent dashboards and intuitive wizards that
provide the visibility you need to quickly track and monitor every backup and
recovery job. It also saves time and simplifies the implementation of backup
protection—with a few simple clicks, you can set backup jobs, view backup
status, and perform recoveries.
Designed for optimal virtual machine protection.
Backup Exec 15’s integration with Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and VMware’s
vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) provides reliable and consistent application-aware backups
for all your virtual machines. Using the latest technology, Backup Exec 15 minimizes CPU, memory,
and I/O load performance impacts on the virtual host. By executing post-processing tasks that don’t
impact the backup window, such as log truncation, collection of meta data, and searchable catalogs,
Backup Exec 15 delivers highly optimized backup and fast, agile recovery of granular application data
directly from storage.
A single product for both virtual and physical environments. Forget purchasing, deploying, and managing separate backup solutions for your physical and virtual
machines. Backup Exec 15 protects both physical and virtual environments from single server environments
to thousands of servers/virtual machines—all with a single solution. You can get a complete picture
of your entire backup and recovery status from one administrative console at any time. If scalability is
important to you, rest assured that Backup Exec 15 will support your backup and recovery needs as your
organization grows.
Backup to virtually any storage device. When it comes to storing critical data, Backup Exec 15 has flexible options—so you can backup to virtually
any storage device including disk, tape, dedupe storage, appliance, or a
third-party cloud. There’s no need to be locked into buying a specific storage
device and increasing your storage costs.
Fast, efficient, and versatile recovery. You can easily find and recover data—at any level. Because Backup Exec 15 intelligently indexes and catalogs
backup data, you don’t have to waste valuable time and disk space mounting the backup job, determining
what’s inside, and searching for specific data. With a few simple clicks, you can recover virtual machines,
applications, databases, files, folders, and granular objects directly from backup storage including individual
objects from Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, and SharePoint. Backup Exec 15 simplifies and speeds
up recovery when you need it most.
Backup Exec 15 also includes—at no extra charge—Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR) technology for
minimizing downtime and business disruptions. In the event of a disaster, Backup Exec 15 can recover an
entire server from a bare metal state to the same hardware or dissimilar hardware in minutes—instead of
hours or days.
Centralized management. Backup Exec's centralized administration console delivers scalable management of distributed Backup Exec
servers and reduces the time and resources needed to manage your backup operations.
Simple to acquire and deploy. Backup Exec 15 is a cost effective backup and recovery solution that’s easy to acquire, license, and
deploy. With Backup Exec 15, you’ll have an affordable solution with licensing options that best fit your
organization’s needs. Choose from three licensing options—per TB, per socket, per module.
Supports the latest platforms and operating systems. Backup Exec extends its industry leading support for VMware and now includes advanced integration
with vSphere 6: ESXi 6.0, vCenter 6.0, Virtual SAN 6, Virtual Volumes, vSphere 6 security certificates and
VMware EVO:RAIL. Backup Exec also adds support for granular recovery of VMware Virtual Machines
with GPT disks and VMware Virtual Machines with larger than 2TB volumes.
What is the earliest version of Backup Exec that allows for a direct upgrade to Backup Exec 15?
Customers using Backup Exec from 2010 R3 or newer can simply install version 15 over their existing versions of Backup Exec.
Backup Exec will automatically migrate existing Backup Exec related data from versions 2010R3 and higher to version 15.
For customers who are using Backup Exec 12, 11d, 10d, 10 or older versions (including agents/options), we recommend that
they step upgrade to 2010 R3 SP4 or 2014 then proceed to upgrade to Backup Exec 15. This will allow them to preserve their
backup jobs. Alternatively, they could uninstall the previous version and install Backup Exec 15 but backup jobs would have to
be set up again.
Do customers have to upgrade all agents/options at the same time when they upgrade the core media server to
Backup Exec 15?
They do not. Customers can upgrade remote agents (Linux, Windows, and Mac) and Managed Backup Exec Servers on a
schedule that works for them, however, they still need to input Backup Exec 15 serial numbers to activate remote agent/media
servers installed from a previous version.
Important note: customers will not have the complete set of Backup Exec 15
improvements until all remote agents and managed servers are upgraded.

deployments at scale with thousands of VMs and petabytes of data.
Competitive Landscape
vs. Veeam Availability Suite v8
Backup Exec 15 unifies physical and virtual protection
with a single console to protect your customers’
entire environment. Veeam was designed for virtual
environments only.
Backup Exec offers quick and easy granular recovery
of application data such as Exchange, SQL, SharePoint
and Active Directory from the same, user-friendly
admin console in which the backups are done. Veeam
requires a separate “Explorer” application to perform
granular recovery tasks of each application.
Deduplication can help customers store less data
over time as well as deduplicate across both physical
and virtual environments. Veeam’s deduplication
technology is virtual-only and on a per-job basis,
thus not as effective as Backup Exec’s global
deduplication technology.
Unlike Veeam, Backup Exec can also protect and recover
the physical Windows Hyper-V host itself, including
bare-metal recovery and dissimilar hardware restore.
vs. CommVault® Simpana® 10
Backup Exec is designed with
ease of use for the small business
to small enterprise market so
overall setup, configuration and
usability are easier. CommVault
may require advanced training,
knowledge and even specialised
services to administer.
Backup Exec offers several
adaptable configurations,
including client, media server,
and third party appliance deduplication.
Backup Exec has one agent that
runs a single pass backup, where CommVault may require several
agents and multiple backups in
order to do granular recovery of
application data.
vs. Dell AppAssure 5.x
Backup Exec offers flexible encryption and deduplication
technology that can encrypt and deduplicate data at the
source (client side) before moving it across the network
to the storage location. AppAssure can perform this
process on the media server (target side) only.
In virtual machine protection AppAssure installs an
agent in each guest VM to perform backups, just as if it
were a physical machine. This can intensify operations
on the physical host, requiring additional overhead (CPU
and memory) while backups are taking place. Backup
Exec integrates seamlessly into the virtual stack, doing
Agentless backups, thus freeing up the host machine
and associated VMs to focus on production activity.
Granular recovery of application data can be complex
and time consuming with AppAssure. Backup Exec
allowsadministrators to easily search and recover any
granular file or application object from Exchange,
SQL, SharePoint and Active Directory directly from the
backup storage location. AppAssure does not support
granular recovery of Active Directory.
Veritas julkaisi uuden 15 version Backup Execistä ja sen myötä kapasiteettilisensoinnista tuli entistä helpompaa ja houkuttelevampaa.
Lisensseistä on kaksi vaihtoehtoa: Capacity Edition ja Capacity Edition Lite.
Capacity Edition sisältää kaikki Backup Execin eri lisenssit asiakkaan ostaman kapasiteetin puitteissa. Tämä mahdollistaa huolettomat varmistukset myös muutoksien keskellä olevalle asiakkaalle.
Lisenssit hankitaan asiakkaan palvelimilla olevan datan nettokapasiteetin perusteella (ns. Frontend data, ilman deduplikointia ja pakkausta) 1TB kokoisina lisensseinä.
Kapasiteettia on nyt mahdollista lisätä myöhemmin joustavasti 1TB paloina ja saat volyymialennukset myös näille lisäostoille.
Capacity Edition Lite lisensoidaan samalla tavalla, tuotesisällön eron näet tästä kuvasta:
Omistuksellisista laitekohtaisista lisensseistä on nyt myös mahdollista siirtyä kapasiteettimalliin ristiinpäivityslisensseillä. Jokaista ylläpidossa olevaa Backup Execin agenttia tai optiolisenssiä vastaan voit hankkia 1TB ristiinpäivityslisenssin joko
Capacity tai Capacity Lite editionista.
