The NEW Backup Exec File System Archive Option provides unified backup and archiving for file systems by uniquely archiving data from the backup copy rather than separately pulling data from the source. The archive option will provide administrators with the ability to reduce redundant data from the Files server source to free up storage space. Users can easily retrieve individual archived documents and files using the Backup Exec Retrieve Google-like web UI and administrators can retrieve archived data through the Backup Exec console. Overall administrators will be able to easily index data and set retention periods to efficiently manage data lifecycles.

Control File Server Storage Growth through Archiving

Archiving is critical to maintaining file server size, performance, and scalability. Keeping old, infrequently accessed, and redundant data on primary servers not only wastes precious space, but it also costs time and money to manage, maintain, and back up the data. Consider how much time and storage space is reclaimed for backups and migration projects when there is less active content residing on primary servers and storage. The Backup Exec Archiving Options will reclaim primary storage space, enable data lifecycle policies, and maintain end-user access to archived files.

Innovative "Off-Host" Archiving operates off Backup Copies of File Servers

Backup Exec's File System Archiving Option operates from backups of Share data that the Media Server has backed up. Data in the backup set that meets archive criteria size, age, or a combination of both is copied to the Archive by the Media Server and subsequently deleted from the source File Server. This "Off-Host" archive process has several benefits archiving transfers data once, instead of multiple times, per backup cycle. Additionally, the load on the content source is lower because there is only a single Agent to deploy on the remote machine the Remote Agent for Windows systems.

Reduce Archive size with Integrated Deduplication in the Archive

Backup Exec's File System Archiving Option enables Administrators to move older, less frequently accessed unstructured data from expensive primary storage to cheaper disk arrays, while allowing end users to access their archived files through Backup Exec Retrieve, a Web-based Recovery portal for Archived files, folders, and emails. Backup Exec 2010 File Server Archiving will deduplicate and compress data while storing a single copy of a file or message in the archive, regardless of the number of times it is archived or where it was originally from. Lastly, Archiving can apply storage lifecycle policies for data, allowing storage-optimized copies of data to be kept for months or years.
