Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Backup to Disk
  • Physical to Virtual Conversion
  • Remote agent support
Cons
  • Functionality of importing jobs does not work 100% of the time
  • When attempting a restore from tape the system does not tell you what tapes are needed until the job is already started
  • Instant Discovery and add of agents
Likelihood to Recommend
If your environment is a medium size I believe it works well. I have worked with other systems at larger companies and they fit well in that area. One thing I am disappointed on is the support from Veritas. The support is sometimes lacking and can get lost in the system. We rarely call support just because we have made it a point to learn all I can about the system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are use it across our subsidiaries within ICT department and we are managing all backups related to databases and mostly VMWARE environment. We are managing 100s of tape icluding LTO4 and LTO6 for off site backups. More than 100 VMs are protect across the environment which includes thick and thin VMs.

Pros
  • Centralised Backup Solution
  • Easy to use for administrator
  • Expendable in case of storages
  • Hardware Independent
  • Flexible Licenses
  • Reliable Infrastructure
  • Independent storage solution
  • Integration with almost every Database
  • Integration with Virtual Environment
  • Graphical representation of Storage
  • OPS CENTER provide detailed reporting
Cons
  • Admin console
  • SAP HANA application Templates should also be introduced instead of scripting
  • SAP MAXDB application template should also be introduced
  • Tape Management need improvement
  • MOBILE connectivity is missing
  • Admin console is so simple it should be more funcky or stylish
  • Small database should also be considered for backup
Likelihood to Recommend
Netbackup is suited for every environment like Windows, Linux, Suse, Red Hat, Oracle, SQL, SAP, MySQL, Mongo DB, VM, BMR.

For SMEs veritas would be an expensive solution because its an enterprise level solution may not be recommended for smaller organization. Backup administrator with high skill may requied for such solution which is also not affordable by them.

Good choice for company backups.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Data backup for both infrastructure (NAS, SAN, VM, ...) and files with host agent installed. We need complete backup software to ensure our company meets legal and internal requirements for backups and archiving.
Pros
  • Backup vmWare infrastructure.
  • Integration with storage systems (Netapp).
  • Fast operations (backup and restore).
  • Data security with encryption.
  • Support of multiple backup hardware.
Cons
  • Integration with third-party disk storage.
  • Old user interface.
  • Adding new features (integration with MS Azure, ...)
Likelihood to Recommend
Backuping complex infrastructures (VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle, and MSSQL databases, etc.). Regarding product price, it's not the most affordable for small businesses, but it can handle nearly all infrastructures and systems. With good training people, it's a Swiss knife of company data backup, no stress about keeping backups in a safe place!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • SAN data transfer and LAN control transfer for doing VMware backups.
  • Ability to perform restore through both LAN and SAN.
Cons
  • Ability to handle DFSR backups , VSS sometimes does not work .
  • Logs complexity and troubleshooting
Likelihood to Recommend
Veritas NetBackup is well suited to backup huge NDMP workloads through multiplexing where tapes drives are less to accommodate, huge VMware workloads backup can be completed by leveraging SAN data transfer technology and CBT, ability to do exchange. Oracle and SQL backups even if backed up by VMware policy. Very well suited for dissimilar hardware physical server BMR restore. Flash backup for raw file system backup.

It is less suited for DFSR backups, less suited for large changes of daily data, dedupe is not integrated, rather depends upon additional license like MSDP and specific hardware, configuring AIR replication is also very complex.

Backup your Enterprise Servers so you don't have to stay up all night rebuilding.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Full Backup
  • Incremental Backup
  • File Level Restore
  • OS level restore for VMware
Cons
  • When an error in the backup process occurs, manual intervention is usually necessary by the Server Administrator.
  • Some Virtual Machine servers cannot be backed up while online.
  • User client is a little clumsy while attempting to access files for restore.
Likelihood to Recommend
NetBackup is a great product for Enterprise Servers managed by a large IT department. It is not the best solution for individual users as it doesn't do the file syncs similar to Microsoft OneDrive. It does a great job of allowing the end user to manage his/her own file restores without having to wait for the Backup Administrator to be involved. However, full OS restores to a separate location are slightly more complex.
