Storemgr67 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Comprehensive data protection supports diverse IT environments
Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products. It supports cross-platform backup and recovery, allowing customers to back up from one platform and recover to another. The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use. In addition to virtual machine backups, the platform supports physical server backups, file backups, and database backups. This comprehensive support allows customers to back up most IT resources, including the public cloud, within one platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"We are quite satisfied with the performance and reliability of the NetBackup product. When it comes to specific features, the most valuable is the Instant Recovery feature, which we call "short-term IR". Instant Recovery allows users to spin up backup images and bring back any VM instantly."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas NetBackup is the protection policies or protection module."
"Good graphical user interface. It's easy to create policies and to do installs."
"The deduplication feature is useful. Deduplication and compression features are what I like about NetBackup."
"It was especially useful with the appliances we use on a daily basis."
"Specific features that I could not do without are SLPs for replication and duplication control and AIR which makes DR easy."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"It would be extremely helpful if the solution offered near-zero recovery time for SQL."

"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"Veritas NetBackup has some limitations and it would be a benefit if we had better documentation."

"Our license is capacity-based."
"We purchased a perpetual license and perform SMS renewals."
"Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive."
