Chose Veritas Backup Exec
The user interface is accurate, and you have the information you need on the screen.
I chose Veritas Backup Exec for my clients Windows Servers about 15 to 20 years ago because that was the ONLY backup software available at the time. Since then, [I feel] the software has gotten bloated, unreliable and cluttered. Veeam Backup & Replication is much more …
Veritas Backup Exec is very comparable to Unitrends and in some areas is easier to use. The license side of Veritas Backup Exec is much more difficult to manage compared to Unitrends. Unitrends seems to be a much smoother solutions to protect virtual environments. Restoring …
We moved away from Unitrends for one reason only. Pricing. Unitrends continued to raise their pricing and renewal fees where we were no longer able to afford it. Veritas Backup Exec provided the functionality needed at the best price point for us.
We did look at several backup solutions when we implemented VMWare. I might be a little prejudiced because I've used the product so long, but there are many competitors in this market, and the cost was much higher to obtain the same functionality as we get with Veritas Backup …
Both Veritas Backup Exec and Acronis Backup provide reliable backup and recovery solutions, however Vertias Backup Exec is much more scaleable, and better suited for larger business environments.
Essentially we chose Backup Exec because we were familiar with it's config and interface. Both Acronis and Arcserve provided the same or similar features, but came in at a higher price. We also looked at hosted backup services and found them extremely expensive. We adopted …
If your company is looking at changing solutions or currently does not have any, Veritas Backup Exec is the way to go. Do yourself a favor and try the 60 day trial, you won't be disappointed! Very simple to use and has a great GUI, much better than what the competition has to …
Our version of Backup Exec lacked the appropriate VM support, although I believe that such support is better in 15 and 16 versions. We currently use a combination of Backup Exec and Acronis - our parent company uses Veeam.
Veeam is a vastly superior product. We use Veritas Backup Exec because we have legacy software and equipment that Veeam cannot fully integrate with yet.
Backup Exec (when it was still under the Symantec umbrella) used to offer a backup appliance for local-cloud backup. It was expensive. I don't think they offer it anymore. In any case we wanted to engage such a solution and have been using Barracuda Backup for several years. It …
Symantec and Acronis are well matched, but Symantec is more flexible in designing jobs. Acronis creates images that are mountable whereas Symantec creates backup files that can be restored quickly and easily. Barracuda and Datto are "total data storage" backup options and …
There are different alternatives like Iperius, Handy Backup or similar but for what is my experience , I have always been comfortable with this software and even the company that used it has never had the need to look for other software, for this reason has never been a …
Veeam is by far superior to Backup Exec in the virtual, SQL, AD, Exchange, and Physical Environments. The way they interact with the Virtual Servers is more streamlined and generates better results. They also support more file system such as AIX and XFS for backup and …
SBE is much better for onsite backups as Carbonite is Cloud based and if you have no network connection to your server there is no way to get files backed up or back online. This is why we went with SBE to handle our tape backups on a daily bases and keep server backed with a …
Sorry but Veeam stacks up against Backup Exec. Backup Exec has a million of options, Veeam is clean and more easy to configure and use. Right now I can't recommend Backup Exec, but I hope in the next years I can come back and say something positive.
