    Well suited: scenarios with very specific backups schedules; backups saved in tape libraries. Less appropriate: environments with older Operational Systems and older hardware, such as tape libraries.

    It was just not a good fit for our organization. We have an EMC SAN, Data Domain backup storage, and VMWare. Without any other HP software or hardware in our environment I do not see the need to continue using a product that is not well integrated with our other brands

    Very easy to use. What needs to improve is to make it easier to configure some integrations and features, such as office 365 integration, acropolis integration, block change-based backup, etc. Despite we have documentation, even following all the steps, the integration is hard to implement or doesn't work in the end.

    It is the weak point of this software, although it is improving little by a little. The first level of support does not solve almost anything until you move on to a higher level that is more involved.

    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.

    When selecting a backup solution for our virtual environment we chose HP Data Protector for its cost savings in licensing, our familiarity with the software and the ability to backup to disk, tape or both with the standard installation.

    Here the license model from the Micro Focus Data Protector and DP4CW should merge. It causes argumentation problems if you license two products here.
