Developed primarily for small- and medium-sized organizations, Backup Exec 11d expands the product line's continuous data protection beyond Microsoft Windows file servers and workstations to include Microsoft Exchange, eliminating the need for daily Exchange backups and time consuming mailbox backups, Symantec said in a statement.

Backup Exec 11d, now available also features a Granular Recovery Technology that enables recovery of critical data from Microsoft applications like Exchange, SharePoint and Active Directory.

Additionally, Backup Exec 11d provides enhanced data security with 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption capabilities, and extends platform support with Backup Exec media servers running on x64-bit Windows servers.

"Today's Windows data protection is not just about backup, it is about recovery," said Jeremy Burton, group president, Enterprise Security & Data Management, Symantec Corp. "Backup Exec 11d delivers continuous protection for mission-critical Microsoft applications like Exchange and SQL Server, and enables rapid data recovery. This significantly reduces the cost, time and resources required of small- and medium-sized organizations. Whether customers are backing up to disk, tape, or both, Backup Exec 11d is the Gold Standard for Windows Data Recovery."

The new, patent-pending Granular Recovery Technology enables the recovery of individual e-mails, folders, and mailboxes in seconds without the need for separate mailbox backups. Granular Recovery Technology works with either continuous or traditional Exchange data protection methods.

Backup Exec 11d also enables the quick recovery of components of other Microsoft applications, including SharePoint Portal Server, Active Directory and SQL 2005.

Symantec Backup Exec 11d is scheduled to be available for purchase through any of the Symantec channel partners that participate in the Express and Rewards programs.
