| OS Compatibility |
The Backup Exec Server can only be installed on 64 bit OS platforms. You cannot install a Backup Exec server on a computer that runs the Windows Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008/2012/2012R2/2016. You can only install the Backup Exec Agent for Windows on Server Core computers. You cannot install SQL Express or SQL Server on a Windows Server 2008 computer that is configured in a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) role. The Read Only Domain Controller role does not let you use the local accounts that are required for SQL Express and SQL Server. When you install Backup Exec on an RODC computer you must select a remote SQL instance for the Backup Exec Database. For Windows Server 2012 and later computers, you cannot install Backup Exec or the Agent for Windows on a volume that is enabled for deduplication in Windows or a ReFS volume. |

It helps minimize backup windows, decrease network traffic and reduce disk space required for storing backup data. The new deduplication to cloud reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) with comprehensive dedupe to cloud that can save storage and infrastructure cost. |
| Feature 08 |
FLEXIBLE: Not every backup solution has the flexibility to protect all of your organization’s information—whether cloud, virtual and physical. Choose the data protection architecture that works for you, rather than letting the software dictate your setup. Back up anything to virtually any storage device, and restore nearly anywhere. From VMs, to entire servers, applications, single files and folders or granular application objects, Backup Exec is the single solution for all of your data protection needs. |
| Feature 09 |
A true unified solution. Cloud, virtual and physical data protection: Lowering costs and simplifying backup tasks starts with deploying a single solution that is designed for your entire infrastructure regardless of platform: virtual, physical or cloud. Deeply integrated with VMware, Microsoft and Linux platforms, Backup Exec can protect one to thousands of servers and virtual machines all from the same user console, providing optimal performance and efficiency. Scalability is an important consideration in backup and recovery, and Backup Exec supports you as your organization grows. |
| Feature 10 |
Hybrid architectures to cloud, disk, and tape: Backup Exec provides the flexibility to protect VMware and Hyper-V environments using agents or agentless methods, in addition to Microsoft and Linux-based physical machines, whether on-prem or in cloud. Flexible target options allow you to write to virtually any storage device including disk, tape, hosted storage or directly to public cloud services such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Microsoft Azure. Gateway devices such as Amazon Storage Gateway or Microsoft StorSimple permit rapid migration to economical cloud storage. |
