Customer Feedback
Customers that run backup software (typically or twice
daily) but have realised that in the event of a failure, the
backup was only as good as the last time it was processed.
Consequently they have used LiveState to provide continuous
backups. The result for most is that their critical
information (customer database and email server) is always
available, without any information loss and without relying on
a protracted backup restore process.
The second reason for buying Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery is for customers that
create and build systems. An example is to test DR plans once
or more per year. Typically such a customer would rent rack
space from the DR site and are forced to rebuild the DR
systems every time a DR test is needed. Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery allows them
to have a ‘blank/bare metal – to - fully operational’ server restore in about 90 minutes as opposed to 7 hours,
which will also Include; firmware, OS, applications, network
configurations and user data at the same time.”
