A Stable product with years of experience in the field
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.

Veritas Netbackup, it works.
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.
- Upgrades are typically easy and normally have either no issues or very few that are easily resolved (wait a month or 2 before upgrading)
- Using accelerator for the vm environment works well, and file level restores have been successful
- Full vm recovery has worked every time
- Backing up a physical server and restoring to a vm works as described
- GRT Exchange backups are pretty easy, to setup
- File level restores are simple
- GRT Exchange restores using the ip less dag take a long time to browse for files to restore
- VM file level restores dont work without a client installed, but the client is not needed for the backup
- GRT backups can eat up a lot of time for the restore
- Full VM recovery works but typically you have to remove the nic, and play around with other settings for it to work

- It saves us money when compared to the cost of other solutions
- We can back something up and I have faith that I can restore it
- It is reliable and works well but must be managed
The software versus the appliance is about the same, the appliance is more convenient in the fact that it is an all in one solution. Using veritas netbackup you have to build out a backup environment with multiple media servers and a storage target for offloading to disk or offloading to tape. Using the appliance versus using just the software means you don't have to build out an environment as it comes with the appliance.
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.
- Full Backup
- Incremental Backup
- File Level Restore
- OS level restore for VMware
- 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.

- When data is lost, we are able to quickly restore and return to normal business.
- When an application upgrade fails we are able to go back to a known good state.
- Large restores are slow at times, so be sure to plan for this in your recovery point objective.
- Code42 (formerly CrashPlan)
CrashPlan has the capability to sync data with a cloud storage source. This is great for a workstation where data is typically only for one user. However, Netbackup does a much better job for maintaining multiple levels of file restores for Enterprise Servers. Netbackup has a superior management console that does not rely on Cloud services in the event of an internet outage.

NetBackup is reliable but can get expensive to maintain
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.
- NetBackup integrates well with Windows servers. The client is reliable.
- NetBackup does a good job of tracking tapes in the catalog, whether the tapes are still on-site in the robot or off-site at a storage facility.
- We saw a significant reduction (between 20% and sometimes as much as 80%) on backup sizes with deduplication. This was more so with things like Exchange and SharePoint, less so with images and video files.
- The upgrade process with NetBackup is very challenging, at least in our implementation. Each upgrade required a significant amount of troubleshooting, and then we would have to fix integrations with other Veritas and Microsoft products that were no longer compatible with the minor release update of NetBackup.
- NetBackup doesn't always provide, at least in our environment, the best status reports on what is working and what is not. If something didn't go right with a backup, we didn't always see it right away.
- The cost of NetBackup was increasing. We were not licensed for their multi-data center replication and high availability components, so we made the decision to move off NetBackup rather than accept a significant price jump.

- We never experienced a significant system or data loss during the time we used NetBackup. We restored individuals files and small databases based upon user mistakes, but we never had to implement a DR plan. From that aspect, it is difficult to evaluate the ROI. Backups are a commodity service. Features are very similar across multiple tools. Once you decide to stay on-prem or move to the cloud, the list of options are narrowed. Then it becomes a matter of price.
- From an administration and support perspective, the ROI is low. Vendor technical support is not always responsive. The first two tiers of support are not knowledgeable and their typical recommendation is to read the white paper. My small team spent a lot of time troubleshooting NetBackup, often without much vendor help.
We moved from NetBackup to Veeam in mid-2017 largely because of a significant data center migration. Veeam was very quick to configure, compressed the data streams to move entire servers and storage arrays quickly and without disrupting business network use, and costs significantly less than NetBackup for us. While we still backup to tape, Veeam provides a lot options for hybrid backups that include cloud and multiple colocation data center sites.
