[New: BOU12R1WC, Upgrade: BOU12U1WC]Open File Backup Disk-to-Disk Edition
Protects open files on NTFS-formatted volumes on the one Windows server. This add-on makes it possible to protect line-of-business applications—such as accounting, CRM, and proprietary database systems—while they’re running, even those with data files spread across multiple volumes. Retrospect’s Open File Backup Disk-to-Disk Edition add-on covers your Retrospect host server only. Specifically for Retrospect Single Server (Disk-to-Disk) and Desktop (Professional).
[New: BOD12R1WC, Upgrade: BOD12U1WC]Dissimilar Hardware Restore Unlimited

Provides hot backups of Microsoft Exchange Server 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003 storage groups, databases, and mailboxes.
