Veritas NetBackup Appliance Pros review quotes

The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company.

The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds.

I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure.

If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server.

The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic.

The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it.

In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment.

I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB.

It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy.

With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them.

It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system.
