Symantec Incorporates LiveState with Backup Exec Family

Symantec Corp. has introduced Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery, a new version of LiveState Recovery Application with new functionality and lesser price. The Backup Exec storage software, from Veritas Software acquisition, is designed for Windows operating Systems to quickly restore failed IT systems when disaster strikes.

The company said organisations can also remotely restore unattended servers in distributed locations from a Windows desktop, laptop, or even a Pocket PC with remote access and management capabilities.

"Small and mid-sized organisations are looking for server recovery solutions that are both cost-effective and easy-to-use," said Brian Babineau, analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "The inclusion of hardware-independent restore, lights out system recovery, and flexible deployment capabilities in a single solution represents a highly usable system protection tool for these businesses."

Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery reduces recovery time and saves significant hardware investment: it breaks the barrier of having to recover systems to the identical hardware platform where recovery points were created and eliminates the high costs of having to maintain duplicate hardware solely for the purposes of system recovery in the event of an emergency.

Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery delivers the previous LiveState Recovery 6.0 client functionality, and includes all the features and benefits of the former LiveState Recovery Restore Anyware and LightsOut Restore Options.

Backup Exec System Recovery is now available in the following editions:

Backup Exec System Recovery, Server Edition (MSRP USD1095 USD per server)
Backup Exec System Recovery, Windows Small Business Server Edition (MSRP USD 595 USD per server)
Backup Exec System Recovery, Desktop Edition (MSRP USD 69 USD per desktop)
