    Arcserve
    Very good for quick onsite file and email restores. The built-in granular email restore tool is honestly amazing. The file restore options are similarly useful allowing the restoration of a single file or email from any restore point, making those little restore jobs super quick. It might not be the best for a bare metal restore however, as while it does have this functionality, it requires some additional setup of a server before a backup to allow this to work.

    Cons
    Arcserve
    • Scalability. Main issue is each appliance has a finite space for backups, and can't be increased on the box itself without replacing it with another appliance completely.
    • Onboard interface. Doesn't have an interface that's accessible via the web natively. While that's great for security, it is a little awkward if you need to access it from offsite.

    Usability
    Arcserve
    It's very easy to use. Plug it in, run through the wizard and you're pretty much set. Hardly ever have to go back in and check on it. Everything can be scheduled fairly granularly. The console is simple and laid out well. While doing a restore takes a number of steps, it is not hard to follow what you're doing. A few things couple be displayed better, but the built in help options do explain things well enough.

    [I] have only used it a couple of times, but they've always been responsive and solved the issues I've had. Time to get to a person was fairly low, under 10 minutes each time.

    Barracuda had the best console of the three we evaluated. Cloud hosted it was the easiest to access. However, it took forever to do the initial seeding backup, and then the nightly backups ran over into the next day. It was just so slow to do the backups - we never even tried a restore. The resulting backups also seemed to take up a significant amount of the appliances space, it was almost 3/4 full from the get go. Unitrends did not have natively a granular email restore option, it had a third-party option, but that was not something we were interested in. It also took a long time to run the backups. Arcserve was the fastest by far, [as] it did not fill up as much (way better deduplication) and it had a built-in granular email restore. While I wish it had a cloud console, overall it had the most important features we were looking for.

    1) Storage: Reduce storage cost by replacing with Veritas intelligent deduplication.
    2) Space
    Save valuable floor space by combining both the backup server and deduplication storage into one appliance.
    3) Power and Cooling
    As an ENERGY STAR compliant backup appliance, the NetBackup 5330 reduces floor space and power consumption, letting you to
    do more with your IT budget.
    4) Robust Greater performance compared to the NetBackup 5230: Up to 3X faster backup, 5.8X faster recovery, and 4.9X faster replication. 5) Greater density
    Delivers more TB per rack unit (RU) which reduces floor space requirements and lowers power and cooling costs.
    6) Intelligent end-to-end deduplication
    Reduces the size of backups by up to 50 times and network bandwidth utilization by up to 99 percent, so you can backup and replicate faster.
    7) Flexible deduplication options
    Deduplication at source, media server, or target; inline or post-process.
