Symantec Backup Exec v.12.5 for
Windows Servers Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
Efficiently eliminate the daily backup window
for SQL servers and enable recovery of database transactions that have been made
right up to the time of the hardware or software failure. Additionally, flexible
recovery options allow IT administrators to restore SQL databases to
destinations other than where they originated, directing a copy of the actual
data streams being sent to media by a SQL database to a local directory for
later use. The SQL Server 2005 snapshots are integrated into the Backup Exec
catalog for a consolidated look at all data copies available for recovery in
seconds. This agent provides SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005
and 2008 administrators with granular protection on 32- and 64-bit systems down
to the individual database or file group.
