Saves recovery time by automating the traditional manual, error prone process. The Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option automates server recovery, reducing the time to recovery and gets you back into business fast. Implement a server recovery solution for both local and remote Windows servers, eliminating the need to first reload the entire operating system of crashed servers. Using either diskette-based, CD-R/CD-RW or bootable tape, the Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option will quickly recover downed servers enabling restores from the last complete backup set including full, differential, incremental, and working set backups. The Intelligent Disaster Recovery Option integrates directly with Microsoft's Automated System Recovery (ASR) functionality in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP to provide complete disaster recovery on Windows servers. The comprehensive protection is available for remote, LAN-based computers that use Intel 64-bit Itanium processors.<p>Microsoft Windows 2003 Server family Microsoft Windows 2000 Server family Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 Microsoft Server Appliance Kit (SAK) 2.x or higher Internet Browser Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher Processor Intel Pentium, Xeon, or compatible Memory - Backup Exec Media Server Required: 256 MB RAM Recommended: 512 MB (or more for better performance) Memory - Backup Exec CASO Server (may depend on number of media servers being supported) Required: 512 MB RAM Recommended: 1 GB Note: RAM requirements may vary depending on operations performed, the options installed, and the specific system configuration.
