Veritas Backup Exec Reviews

Protection plans can now be created by performing fewer steps, as compared to version 2010.Software deployment is straight forward. The homepage has been redesigned, which provides detailed statistics about backup operations, media, and job statuses.Remote agent installation is also simple; when you go to the Backup and Restore options it displays all the systems that have agents running.Backups can be restored or converted into virtual machines running in VMware or Hyper-V environments.Multiple systems can be placed in groups to share the backup strategies

Most features work when agents are installed on servers, but you have to pay extra for most of them. The product is totally redesigned and requires some patches and updates to become fully compatible with different types of environments.

Symantec Backup Exec 2012 is a feature rich tool for data protection and recovery. It can protect both physical and virtual environments to avoid disasters and reduces down time.

We have about 500 devices, so we want to make sure they are backed up online and protected from attack. Another use case is to back up a client's SharePoint platform. It's SharePoint 2019 SQL. We use Backup Exec to back up that application and the server and restore after a disaster.

One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability.

Higher availability is when you have two servers that can fail over each other. Veritas can’t back up sql when it’s on high availability 

We've been using Backup Exec for three years now.

Backup Exec is stable.

Backup Exec is scalable. 

Veritas has a good support system you can contact when you're having issues. It's very easy.

Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer. 

I rate Veritas Backup Exec nine out of 10. If you're implementing this product, make sure you get your requirements right from the start. You need to know what you want to achieve with Veritas.
