Hi there,
What would be the difference between automated system recovery built
into windows 2003 and a commercial product like Veritas BackupExec
System Recovery?
Are they based on the same technology, how do they work?
Thanks,T
 
Hi Tester,

The basic difference between the two, is centralized managment. Windows
Backup can only backup its local and mapped files and local system state,
whereas with a tool such as Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) you can
backup the files and system state of every server in your network to one
backup hardware system and manage it all via a single console. Its also
generally quite a bit quicker than Windows Backup, as the Windows Backup
tends to have throttling issues (though I've heard you can fix this
somehow).

Here are a couple of docs which may give you some more info on these two
products...
