Introduction

Symantec Backup Exec server is a high-performance data management solution for Windows networks. With its true 32-bit client/server design, Backup Exec provides fast, reliable backup and restore capabilities for servers and workstations across the network.

In IT infrastructures providing mission-critical services to end-users, an efficient backup and restore mechanism is necessary for ensuring that critical servers that are involved in the delivery of a service do not suffer any data loss. Symantec Backup Exec servers are becoming very crucial to the normal functioning of such infrastructures. If the backup/restoration engine of the server fails, or consumes too much time to backup or restore the data of one/more key infrastructure components,  these components might not be able to function properly until such time that all its data is restored to it. This in turn could have a disastrous effect on the service delivery. If such an outcome is to be prevented, the Symantec Backup Exec server needs to be closely monitored. This where eG Enterprise helps administrators.
