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.

  • 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
  • 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
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.

Veritas NetBackup is very expensive, and I think price is the main reason which some customers don't want to use this solution. The price is fair. Most people have felt this solution was somewhat expensive. licensing model is based on the number of NetBackup clients, agents, servers, and options that NetBackup will be protecting or run on. A customer purchases the same number of licenses as the count of clients, agents, servers, and options.
Veritas is totally independent of hardware like other solutions and its licenses are very flexible.

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.
  • SAN data transfer and LAN control transfer for doing VMware backups.
  • Ability to perform restore through both LAN and SAN.
  • Ability to handle DFSR backups , VSS sometimes does not work .
  • Logs complexity and troubleshooting
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.

  • License is very pricey in comparison to other backup tools.
  • Deployment depends upon lot of factors (server socket size, I/O, processors, CPU).
Veritas kept in higher tier as there is a huge amount of plugins available for maintaining different database workloads like DB2, MYSQL, SQL Server, Sharepoint, SAP, Oracle, only Veritas supports LAN and SAN level configurations for VMware workloads, only Veritas NetBackup supports dissimilar hardware VMware restore, only Veritas supports flash backups to take raw unix file systems.
Veritas support is very prompt and the acknowledgement/followup is hugely appreciable. They go deep to the issue and provide you satisfactory solutions. Creating ticket in portal is also very easy, does not adhere to severity priority, even if Sev2 response is very quick.

Veritas NetBackup has been used for the last couple of years to back up 30-40 TB of data every single day.
  • It is an enterprise solution for backups and restores.
  • Backs up and restores data within RTP/RPO, given a stable infrastructure.
  • Cloud backups are fantastic; they have very user-friendly GUI to configure them.
  • Cloud duplication - It should duplicate data from standard to Glacier without extra read and write.
Veritas NetBackup is an excellent product for all kinds of databases, VMS, and file system backups.

  • It can back up bytes of data, but I have seen we don't get very good bandwidth using media servers even though we have a lot of unused bandwidth.
It is an enterprise solution that has great compatibility with the cloud.
Support is fantastic, based on the support level case you open.

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
Veritas Netbackup does work as it is described but sometimes there is some setup information that is not necessarily published or is hard to locate for proper setup. Support is mixed between America and outsourced locations. It is well suited for vm backups using accelerator which speeds up all the vm backups by not sending duplicate data to the storage location.

  • 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.
Support is pretty good but it is split between America and outsourced companies so it is hit or miss sometimes. I have actually had to argue with the outsourced support as they sometimes have no practical experience using the software which makes troubleshooting difficult when they have no practical experience using the system.
