Veritas NetBackup is currently being used on our datacenter where all of our production and test environments are running. It solves our DR plan. So far the functionality of the NetBackup meets our requirements where it provides a backup redundancy plan in case some major disaster happen. It has all the functionality that a medium business needs.

Veritas NetBackup is implemented as a primary tool in the organization for backuping a huge landscape of Aix , Unix and Windows machines. This includes Oracle , DB2 and SQL Databases.
The overall capacity of front end data is close to 1.3 Petabytes scaling across 2 data centers in 2 different regions. They act as a primary and secondary to each other.
We mainly looked at a trusted long timer in the market to be able to invest to ensure the solution is proven to be trusted.

We are MSP and we support various customers' backup operations. We support two customers for Veritas NetBackup. It helps us to address huge exchange and net app workloads. It also helps us to do VMware backups, along with SQL and Oracle backups. We have adapted the remote NDMP technology to leverage the multiplexing of NDMP backups.

It is being used as the enterprise backup solution for all of our backup needs, currently we are using this to backup file shares for the NAS, our Vmware Environment, our physical server environment and our database server environment. We also use it to manage our tape library and our tape environment for all daily and monthly backups.

Netbackup (NBU) was used to backup all systems at one point, but cost drove us to use another solution. NBU currently is being used to backup SQL application level data. At the time of the switch, NBU wasn't able to backup Hyper-V, which also influenced our decision to switch.

NetBackup is used to perform automated file level and disk level backups of all Enterprise servers. It is primarily used by the IT department but is also available to other departments as a service. The Enterprise Storage team provides this service to allow for the restoration of servers in the event of data loss or corruption. This is an invaluable tool for both business continuity and disaster recovery.

We are using Veritas NetBackup to manage our backups and offsite data information. I am able to assign specific tapes to a storage unit, track offsite retention, and keep all my backups organized. Since we have all the policies and protection jobs configured, all I need to do is prep the tapes that NetBackup kicks out and send them off-site. Very infrequently do we ave problems or issues. With a basic understanding of backups and some training NetBackup can be configured to meet any company's needs.

NetBackup has been our primary backup solution for all of our organization data and servers. NetBackup backed up all of our virtual and physical servers, as well as our SANs across two different data center environments. We also use NetBackup to write our off-site backups to tape. In late 2016, we implemented deduplication with NetBackup to reduce the size of our backups since we were pulling more of them from remote data centers to our home office where the backups were administered and written to tape.

The software is used on a daily basis for a full backup of our IT Infrastructure. We use the system to perform daily backups to disk that are offloaded to tapes on a weekly basis. The system allows us to perform backups of both our physical machines that are in the server room and on our manufacturing floor as well as our entire VM environment.

NetBackup for SharePoint

We use NetBackup for our SharePoint Farm. We like that NetBackup has an add-in for SharePoint so in case there's a need to restore a single item from a list or document library it can be done easily. We resolved our problem with not being able to restore a single item or a SharePoint site collection which is beneficial since now we are able to restore items without the need of restoring a whole DB. We use NetBackup across our Americas division.

Before Netbackup we were running BackupExec writing directly to LTO5 tape drives. In spring of 2014 we evaluated NBU and Commvault. Both products would meet the needs of modernizing our environment, however in the end NBU was the more economical choice. We chose to implement NBU, with a 86tb backend Netapp 2240-4 and SpectraLogic T110 LTO6 tape library. Since its implementation in spring of 2014 NBU has allowed us to more reliably backup our Oracle environment and other filesystems. The use of MSDP pools extended the amount of capacity we had for backup and the ability to create policies to automatically move data from disk to tape has decreased the amount of time for backups and restores by 50%.

The organizational use of Symantec NetBackup includes installing, configuring and administration at enterprise level client sites. Symantec NetBackup is deployed in the lab here and is used to emulate problems customers have in their environment and provide solutions. With the advent use of PBBA's the 5230 and 5330 to protect and manage data Veritas has brought technology which is user friendly and easy to set up.

We're using Symantec NetBackup across our agency to backup physical servers, virtual severs, NetApp filers, and some desktops. It allows us to manage all of our backups and reporting from a single application. Symantec NetBackup is very flexible and it has a ton of options which can accommodate businesses of every size.
