Guest Tester Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Hi there, What would be the difference between automated system recovery built into windows 2003 and a commercial product like Veritas BackupExec System Recovery? Are they based on the same technology, how do they work? Thanks,T
Guest Coraleigh Miller Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Re: system recovery Hi Tester, The basic difference between the two, is centralized managment. Windows Backup can only backup its local and mapped files and local system state, whereas with a tool such as Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) you can backup the files and system state of every server in your network to one backup hardware system and manage it all via a single console. Its also generally quite a bit quicker than Windows Backup, as the Windows Backup tends to have throttling issues (though I've heard you can fix this somehow). Here are a couple of docs which may give you some more info on these two products... http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/4373616b-9639-4da6-a31c-c187c2cacb661033.mspx?mfr=true http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=1018&pvid=1602_1 Coraleigh Miller "Tester" <calinguga@netscape.net> wrote in message news:1186749594.058255.21920@d30g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > Hi there, > What would be the difference between automated system recovery built > into windows 2003 and a commercial product like Veritas BackupExec > System Recovery? > Are they based on the same technology, how do they work? > Thanks,T >
