Symantec announced the availability of Backup Exec System Recovery 2010, a data and system backup and recovery solution for small businesses. 

The data recovery solution automates the backup process of an entire system or individual files and folders without disrupting user productivity, and enables quick restores to the same or dissimilar hardware, virtual machines or remote locations.

Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 introduces new support of the latest Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 7, Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, simplifying the transition to the new platforms and ensuring continued protection during migration. 

“Today’s small businesses need the peace of mind that only comes with a cost-effective, reliable backup and recovery solution that will protect their information and systems to minimize downtime and avoid disaster,” said Edwin Tiotuyco, manager, channels and territory sales, Symantec Philippines.

Tiotuyco said Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 provides small businesses with affordable protection so they can easily recover what they need, when they need it and to whatever physical or virtual environment they want.

For small businesses, it is reported that backup and recovery is both a challenge and a concern. In a recent survey of 1,650 small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and their customers, the average SMB has experienced three outages within the past 12 months, with the leading causes being virus or hacker attacks, power outages or natural disasters. Symantec described this is alarming as almost half report they do don’t yet have a plan to deal with such disruptions.

The survey said while most companies deploy some form of backup, only one in five back up on a daily basis and 40% back up monthly or less. The study also demonstrates small businesses that lose data due to disaster also lose sales and customers.

The Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 now includes Symantec’s patent-pending Granular Recovery Option, previously optional.  This capability allows small businesses to back up an entire file server, desktop, laptop, virtual server or critical application server, and then restore granular items such as individual Exchange emails, SharePoint documents or individual files in minutes.  – Tom S.
