The Backup Exec Partner Toolkit provides three tools - a Performance Analyzer, Deduplication Assessment Tool, and Front-End Capacity Analyzer - to help partners evaluate customer environments before installing Backup Exec and demonstrate Backup Exec's capabilities. The tools can scan multiple servers simultaneously, analyze performance and storage savings from deduplication, and calculate needed capacity licenses. The toolkit helps partners ensure optimal configurations, set customer expectations, and highlight Backup Exec features.
