Backup Exec QuickStart edition is often bundled with OEM tape drives. It is generally a version behind the current release (which is 12 as of writing).
Differences between versions:
| Feature |
BEWS | QuickStart 10d | QuickStart 11d |
| Back up Exchange | With additional agent | No | No |
| Pre/Post Commands | Yes | Yes | No |
Note: BEWS is short for "Backup Exec for Windows Servers".
There isn't much documentation on the differences between QuickStart and BEWS. If you have any more information you'd like to see in this table please email me: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Annoyed!
Symantec took away the ability to run scripts before and after backup, in QuickStart for Backup Exec 11d (you could do it with version 10d!). All of my new customers get version 11d, and I'm hating the reduced functionality.
