How would you compare Dell NetWorker vs Dell Avamar vs Veeam Backup & Replication?

Hi Abhishek, That's a great question. In Europe/Austria most of the companies run Veeam - so do we. There a lot of advantages if you use Veeam as it's designed. Also, Zerto (more for Data migration) we use - but not for Backup. VM SRM is good for 1:n replication if you already use VMWare. There is a good comparison: https://community.veeam.com/vu... It's on the website from Veeam but still good. Cheers,  Martin

I have seen all of these products in production. If you are working with a VMware environment and want solid backups/replications and restores then nothing in my opinion beats Veeam. It's very easy to use and works very well with plain disk-based backup targets. Its built-in de-duplication works very well. If you are looking for even better performance and de-duplication then I would recommend Veeam with a Data Domain backup target. Data Domain uses a protocol called DD-Boost. Not many vendors support DD-Boost, however, Veeam does. I am getting very good backup-to-storage ratios with this combination. For example, I am using 15.5 TB of physical disk space to hold 106TB of backup data. I have been pleased and impressed with this combination.
