Veritas unveils new, updated data recovery products PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept 24 (Reuters) - Veritas Software Corp. (NasdaqNM:VRTS - news) on Monday announced new and updated storage software products that enable companies to back up and recover data that is lost due to disasters, data corruption or other means. ADVERTISEMENT The company's new FlashSnap software enables users to make up to 32 point-in-time copies -- or ``snapshots'' -- of data so that if it is lost due to a disaster or programming error, snapshots can be used to recreate that valuable information. Veritas executives said the software can be used with any kind of storage hardware and that it is an extension of existing snapshot technology, which is also referred to as ``mirroring.'' The Mountain View, California-based company also announced Veritas Volume Replicator 3.2, an update of its product that enables users to immediately post data to more than one location so that if a data center or key office is destroyed, the user can quickly recover information with little or no interruption to its business operations. ``More and more companies are looking at mirroring and replication because of what happened'' at the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, John Maxwell, Veritas' vice president of product marketing, told Reuters. It is vital for a company to use those technologies if they want to recover lost data in minutes rather than days, Maxwell said. ``It's really come to the forefront of people's minds ... There were sites in the World Trade Center that just vanished,'' said Bill North, an analyst with industry research firm IDC. North noted that Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MWD - news) -- the Wall Street investment firm that had been the World Trade Center's largest tenant -- was up and running the following morning because it was using disaster recovery technology. ``At the very least it will really minimize the possibility for data corruption or data loss,'' North said.
