Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

Unified backups have protected virtual machines and applications and optimize storage efficiency
Regarding automated disaster recovery, we have not used Veritas NetBackup automated disaster recovery because according to the RFP terms and conditions, we are not supposed to have automated failover or failback, as we are a government entity and cannot violate the rules of the RFP. My feedback about granular recovery in Veritas NetBackup is that we have been doing verifications of the backed-up data to restore from point to point and time to time, focusing on file level or database level. When it comes to integration with cloud services, we have not started because we are a government entity and are not allowed to store any data in the cloud at this time. From security concerns regarding what I would improve about Veritas NetBackup, I think you need to look into this because we found only one encryption option available, which is not that very strong. When I initiate a backup from my laptop or server to the appliance or the tape media using Veritas NetBackup, the encryption channels are not strong, and there are not many options available. Whatever is there is by default and not changeable. We cannot modify any encryption facilities, and security is a big concern nowadays, so you need to look into that. Regarding the functionality part of Veritas NetBackup, I think this encryption feature should be stronger and integrated from point to point, not just at specific levels. When I initiate a backup, all the communication channels involved should be encrypted until it reaches the endpoint, meaning from client to server, server to client, and client device.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint, where you can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up, with strong data backups, simplified GUIs, and many built-in security features and intelligent cloud policies that make it more direct than many others."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"The most valuable feature is replication because, using NetBackup replication, we can have disaster recovery of the data we have."
"It has a very good user interface."
"Veritas released a new feature in version 8 of NetBackup called VRP. It's kind of like replication management from VMware. The great thing about this feature is that Veritas gave it to us for free."
"This product is flexible enough to allow for backing up data from physical machines, as well as from your cloud environment."
"It supports multiple, heterogeneous platforms."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"Lacks a reporting feature."
"GUI needs to be more user-friendly."
"Support for the solution needs improvement."
"The solution is quite expensive. It's like buying a normal car for the price of a Rolls Royce."
"The product is good, but there are extra costs for additional features."
"Support for the solution needs improvement. When we contacted support with issues, we had to be passed on to the higher level of the support team, going from level one through to three."
"We have an issue with the last version on the latest backup of the solution as it is not compatible with Sybase 16.5."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"NetBackup is expensive. They need to work on the pricing side. I find it comparatively on the higher side when I compare the terabyte backup costs."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
"We are very satisfied with the price of this solution."
"The price of NetBackup is okay. I think it's a little bit expensive but manageable. It has a lot of features, and the backup is better than most applications, so I think the price is competitive."
"Veritas NetBackup's pricing is a bit steep when compared to other tools. It is very costly, but service-wise and overall, the Veritas NetBackup is a good product."
"It is an expensive solution."
"If you have a complex environment with dozens of different servers and apps, I recommend you look for TB licensing."
"There is a license required for this solution and it is priced based upon the data used."
