Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Covers a large spectrum of products and operating systems and part of a multi-layer strategy for data protection
We use it like any other backup solution for resource restoration when needed and for populating systems in environments with data. We use NetBackup's data management strategies for multi-target backups and retentions. That's the short answer. The full explanation is quite involved. It would require describing our environment, our workflows, and how we use policies and vaulting policies to move data around. But to keep it brief, NetBackup simplifies managing data across multiple targets with various retention periods. NetBackup is part of a multi-layer strategy. It's one of the many tools we use, to ensure we don't rely on a single product. So, the product has positively impacted our protection strategy. Moreover, we're satisfied with its performance when it comes to the deduplication function.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"NetBackup is very easy for end-users."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"DLO: Client for laptops."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The product is not able to keep up with other competitors in the market."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, it's very difficult to make it work with multiple business units. Its security model is too constricted."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the implementation of Power servers."
"NetBackup's reporting features are a little poor."
"Veritas could simplify the firmware recovery in terms of the deployed. The process shouldn't be dependent on the agents. It should be completely agentless."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we consider the quality and value of Veritas NetBackup, it is worth the cost."

"A better price would make this product more competitive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup is high, it should be reduced."
