What is Advanced Disk-based Backup Option (ADBO)?
A. The new Advanced Disk-based Backup Option enables faster backups and restores through advanced disk-based backup and recovery, including synthetic and off-host backups to perform near-zero impact backups. Synthetic backups reduce backup windows and network bandwidth requirements, and do not impact the original client. Additionally, synthetic backups allow for quick client restore from a single backup image – no longer requiring restoring from multiple tapes and incremental backups. The off-host backup feature enables better backup performance and frees the remote computer by processing the backup operation of the remote computer on a Backup Exec media server instead of on the remote computer, or host computer.
