you may want to check as Symantec keeps changing product features, and V-Ray seems to be a new feature of 12.

I'm a domain admin in a windows 2008 R2 domain. Currently, I'm using Backup Exec 12.5 as my backup application when backing up my windows 2003 file server, and will be migrating to Backup Exec 2010 R3 in the very near future. I also do have a vertual environment running VMWare 4.1 and an EMC SAN. What would be the best and most reliable means of backing up the vertual environment and the SAN so that I can restore VMs and files with ease and maximum reliabity?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
