CALIFORNIA:   Symantec, An infrastructure solution provider, has announced the release of Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0, the latest version of its complete and fast Windows system recovery solution. Backup Exec System Recovery enables businesses to recover complete Windows systems in minutes, and introduces enhanced Microsoft Exchange, virtual, and data recovery capabilities as well as new centralized management to give IT administrators added flexibility and simplified management in protecting their valuable IT assets. With this release, Backup Exec System Recovery adds significant performance improvements and adds support for Microsoft Vista, x64-bit platforms, VMware ESX Server, and Microsoft Virtual Server. Backup Exec System Recovery is a stand-alone solution for Windows Servers and may be purchased and installed separately, or together with the entire family of Backup Exec product offerings. "In today’s mission-critical environments, all systems—from servers to desktops to laptops—must be easily and quickly recoverable, whether to similar or dissimilar hardware," said Mark Read, senior systems engineer, Asia Pacific and Japan, Symantec. "Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery, the gold standard in complete Windows system recovery, ensures customer confidence in the recovery process through revolutionary capabilities along with unprecedented speed and reliability.”  A disk-based solution, Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery overcomes tedious and painful manual system recovery processes that can take days if not weeks by capturing an exact copy of a system—including operating system, applications, system settings, user settings, and data— in a single recovery point. When systems fail, IT administrators simply select the recovery point to restore from and Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery restores the complete system in a fraction of the time of traditional methods. "For small environments lacking data protection, Backup Exec System Recovery is an easy-to-use solution providing rapid recovery of Windows systems and data," said Mark Read. "Larger organizations will benefit from its system recovery capabilities and virtual environment migration tools, both of which are complementary to any existing data protection solution already in use."
