Backup Exec Introduces New Improvements to Their Award Winning Software

A lot of the Non-Profit Organizations we work with do not have a backup solution in place to protect their data. We have a couple great solutions available, and the leader in Backup Solutions is Veritas Backup Exec. Backup Exec is primarily used for backing up server networks and is an extremely powerful tool for protecting large quantities of data.

One of the new additions to Veritas Backup Exec is retry only failed resources. When backing up a myriad of files, some will inevitably fail. In the past that would mean restarting the backup from scratch, but with the most recent update, you can choose to only retry the failed resources. I have included some technical information about the new addition below.

“Administrators usually have SLAs to protect all the important resources and have a restore point in time ready. Backup job can be configured to backup several resources in the same job. When such job is successful for some of the resources and fails for some, the latest recovery point is available only for the resources for which job succeeded. For example, a job backed up 10 out of 12 virtual machines and failed for 2 virtual machines. In such scenario, the administrator has the following options: ‘Rerun the entire failed job’ - This takes a lot of unnecessary time and space since resources already backed up are backed up again. ‘Create a new job only for failed resources’ - Job creation, configuration takes a lot of time.

Introducing 'Retry Only Failed Resources' option Backup Exec™ 20.3 introduces a new option to ‘Retry Only Failed Resources’, which addresses this problem by giving you an option to run a failed job for only the failed resources. When this option is selected, the job will run for only the resources which failed in the previous run of the job.

This option can be selected by doing right-click and select ‘Retry only failed resources’ in the Backup Exec console. The option is available in all places where ‘Run now’ option is present.”

Because of the award winning data recovery service they provide, we recommend you take a look at Veritas Backup Exec 20 for Non-Profits.
