- Throttling options enable users to adjust system resource usage priorities and bandwidth usage to assure AIP’s fast backups don’t interfere with other mission-critical processes.
- Dual Recovery Environments support the latest service devices and reduced memory usage for fast bare metal recovery (BMR) and disaster recovery (DR). Windows PE 3.1 and PE 2005
