Product Details

What is Veritas Backup Exec?

Veritas Backup Exec
Veritas Backup Exec is a backup and disaster recovery solution. It works in virtual, physical, and multi-cloud environments and integrates with several third-party software releases and applications.

Backup Exec is designed for small to medium-sized business, not enterprise, for streamlining data backup and recovery into one product and interface. It also does not support sending data streams from multiple parallel backup jobs to a single tape drive, called multiplexing, however, Veritas’s other backup product, NetBackup, has this capability.

Key Features

  • Virtual, physical and multi-cloud environment support
  • Full integration with Azure Site Recovery for data and application availability with minimal RTO and RPO
  • Integration with most popular third-party software releases, including Microsoft® Server, Microsoft® Hyper-V and VMware® vSphere®
  • Backup Exec can be seamlessly scaled to the cloud with a range of certified, integrated cloud connectors for various cloud environments, including AWS S3, Microsoft® Azure and Google Cloud Platform Storage
  • Users can locate and visualize their data estate to support General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other privacy regulations, using Veritas Information Map™
  • End-to-end deduplication performance to on-premise storage, as well as to public and hybrid cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it to back up our servers with virtual machines on HyperV. The scenario is very simple: save the server on different media for hot and cold storage, plus another one outside of the office. We have an agent for HyperV. No need for a Microsoft SQL agent. Simple Disaster Recovery (SDR) is on.
Pros and Cons
  • Save
  • logs
  • Summary of last backup.
  • More easy connection to a NAS.
  • Stability of save is some scenario.
  • Open an old save that is not in the backup exec database.
Likelihood to Recommend
Globally, it's good backup software, but there are a lot of little things that handicap the experience. You don't know why, but sometimes the saving process bugs during the night and works perfectly tomorrow or after a manual reload. Saving to a NAS is difficult in comparison with Veeam backup.

Return on Investment
  • restoring file quickly.
  • SDR unusual with Hyper-V.
  • Don't use a lot of processor and ram.

The user interface is accurate, and you have the information you need on the screen.

Key Differentiators
  • Ease of Use
  • Other
I used for a very long time backup exec 2010, so I continued with backup exec 20.6. I was familiar with it.
Evaluation Lessons Learned
It's very long and time-consuming to do that, but backup is life-saving. My selection process is good so i keep it.
Support Rating
5
The official internet website isn't very useful, and you search in other forums to have answers. I only used the support one time (and the last) to have a DLL file that repairs a bug during the saving process. They never gave it because I was out of support for one month, a ten-year customer. Bye, veritas.
Premium Support
Yes, for 3 years to have peace of mind.
Bug Resolution
No
Exceptional Examples of Veritas Backup Exec Support
Never.
Scalability
7
We only use it on the on-premise version on a single site.
Reliability and Availability
4
The weekly error on save needs a manual reload from me. The SDR can't restore the virtual machine of hyperV during a test.
Performance
8
No problem for this point it is in the average.
