= Using Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 (Norton save & restore) =
Symantec 's [http://www.symantec.com/business/backup-exec-system-recovery-server-edition Backup Exec System Recovery ] (BESR) allows full system backup and restore (virtual and physical)from any hardware with restore to dissimaliar hardware. Conversion from P2V or V2P can also be scheduled. Install BESR on all windows computers connected to HDA and route backup to a folder on the HDA. Remember to set permissions on destination folders. Activate VSS copy so any open files are captured, optional threatcom can be used to trigger a backup if a threat becomes widespread.
BESR is only for windows machines connected to the HDA but is a great solution to protecting these machines and allows LIVE single pass backup and granular restore of files, saves doing an image and a file backup. Less space less time. An agent is available to backup Linux but another option is to boot the HDA on the recovery disk and create a cold image of the server.
