• Enhanced Graphical User Interface
• NDMP v. 4
• Symantec Backup Exec backup agent (RALUS) to support versions 11, 12 and 12.5
• Basic API Configuration
• Asynchronous Volume Replication over WAN (pair to pair)
• Improved random performance of iSCSI
• Windows Server 2008 Clustering Support (persistent reservation SCSI-3)

How does the API work?

I will email them to you as we are not finished with the notes as we need more time to work on them before releasing the final version. To many emails now

Please let us check & test SPC3.

Symantec Backup Exec backup agent (RALUS) to support versions 11, 12 and 12.5

Will iSCSI volumes be able to be backed up, or just NAS volumes (ie. as a standard file level backup)?
I suspect not, but a nice option would be to backup entire iSCSI volume, with the agent automatically using DSS/Linux snapshot functionality in the background.
Cheers.

Just the NAS volumes, iSCSI is scheduled later this year or first part of next.

I think that feature (up to date BE agent + iSCSI volume/LUN) will be good!
Thanks
