IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAN data, and we archive the SAN data for recovery if there is an issue on the fence."
"I would recommend it to other users due to my thirteen years of experience, as it delivers every time when properly configured and performs well during crises."
"The backup speed is extremely high and the simplicity of NetBackup is commendable."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
"The reliability is valuable, especially for the appliance solution."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"The solution has many great features, particularly the feature they provide for deduplication."
"I like NetBackup's anomaly detection and Linux storage features."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"The product is good, but there are extra costs for additional features."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"I don't believe that it is flexible enough for business operations and other things."
"Like the other enterprise solutions, Veritas NetBackup isn't easy to implement. It's a little bit hard compared to other solutions like Data Protector for HPE. You have to struggle to learn a lot of features that Veritas NetBackup offers to customers."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Smaller virtualized environments will want to stick to a traditional licensing model if possible. It will likely be cheaper, but it is a pain to manage all the individual licenses for each client."
"Our license is capacity-based."
"Acceptable if you need to implement it for larger environments, e.g. over 1000 clients. For smaller setups it might be too expensive."
"The software and license are very expensive."
"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."
"We are happy with the pricing that we have, but it's expensive."
"The licensing model is cost-prohibitive as you scale out."
"It is an expensive solution."
