With the introduction of Symantec Backup Exec 2012, Backup Exec Desktop and Laptop Option (DLO) is now a standalone product known as Symantec Desktop and Laptop Option 7.0. Yes, replacing “Backup Exec” with “Symantec” in the name.
Now that it is a standalone product, I am able to install it without having to install Backup Exec Server first. Furthermore, I am now able to consolidate all the DLO licenses that come with my five copies of Backup Exec Servers and used them on a single DLO server. However, the major drawback with DLO is still the lack of deduplication functionality.
Here are some screen shots of the installation of Symantec Desktop and Laptop Option 7.0.
