Additional key features of Backup Exec System Recovery include:

Feature	Functionality	Benefits
Dissimilar Hardware Recovery with Restore Anyware™ Technology	Quickly and easily restore systems to completely different hardware than the original system without the need to manually reinstall and reconfigure operating systems, applications, system settings, and preferences.	Backup Exec System Recovery uses technology that enables organizations to recover to different systems, without having to build a recovery environment that is unique to that system. This makes the process much faster. Symantec also automates the process so administrators don’t have to do any manual work to get the backup to function on an entirely different system.
Granular Restore Option (now included with your purchase of the Server or Small Business Server Edition)	Enables IT administrators to restore Exchange email, SharePoint Server documents or files and folders in seconds from a single interface, now including support for Exchange 2010.	No other solution that is similar to Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 in the market offers the ability to get granular recovery capabilities of Exchange email, folders, and mailboxes to PST or .msg files, SharePoint documents or files/folders from a single interface. The Granular Restore Option/functionality is included in the core Backup Exec System Recovery Server product.
Scheduled, automated backups	Helps to eliminate backup windows through automated while-you-work backups using hot imaging technology. There is no disruption to user productivity or application usage when creating backups.	Captures and protects the entire Windows system including the operating system, applications, databases, all files, device drivers, profiles, settings, and registry in one easy-to-manage recovery point.
Schedule physical-to-virtual system conversions	IT administrators can now set a schedule for having their physical recovery points (backups) converted to virtual systems through an easy-to-use, wizard-driven interface.	• Enables immediate system recovery through Scheduled P2V conversions. • Converted virtual disks can be stored directly to ESX and Hyper-V servers. • Enables local or site-to-site "warm failover."
Off-site backup copy	Copy recovery points to FTP locations or secondary disk device for off-site recovery protection and/or long-term archival.	Enhances disaster recovery capability by allowing IT administrators to have extra copies of their recovery points at a second and even a third physical location.
Symantec Recovery Disk	Symantec Recovery Disk auto-detects hardware and loads the appropriate drivers to boot the system.	Eliminates the need to manually build recovery floppy disks, thus saving IT administrators’ time and frustration. Administrators can also customize the Symantec Recovery Disk to tailor their recovery environments to their unique hardware needs.
Customizable Event-Driven Recovery Points	Backup Exec System Recover allows organizations to customize recovery points based on certain events.	Enhances change-management efforts by providing organizations with a recovery point to roll back to should the change impact the system in a negative way.
Easy Remote System Recovery	Easily restores servers in remote, unattended locations without requiring IT staff to visit the remote site.	Saves organizations time and money by allowing them to recover a system in a remote location without requiring IT staff to travel to the remote site.
