Benefits for Organizations

Regular backups can protect your organization against a data-loss catastrophe. With Backup Exec, you can back up data from multiple sources in a centralized interface.

Major Capabilities

  • Ease of use: An intuitive interface and wizards simplify installation, setup, backup, recovery, media management, disaster preparation, cluster installation, and agent configuration.
  • Microsoft 365 protection: Protect and recover Microsoft 365 data including Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams.
  • Storage options: Back up to nearly any storage device, including disk, tape, dedupe storage, or third-party cloud, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google, and any generic S3 compatible cloud storage.
  • Block-level deduplication: Backup Exec deduplicates data across all backup jobs and allows you to protect more data while minimizing disk space required on-site and in the cloud.
  • Simplified disaster recovery technology: In the event of a disaster, Backup Exec can recover an entire server to the same or dissimilar hardware in minutes, not hours or days.
