Yes - Symantec NetBackup. Symantec NetBackup demonstrated without a major backup tool but became a high cost solution over the years due to data volume charging and also complex operation, these were the main objectives of our move to the Bacula system, a infinite data backup volume and easy-to-operate tool with simplified interface.
- Scalability
- Ease of Use
There are 2 answers for Bacula being our backup solution, infinite data volume backup and an easy to operate tool with simplified interface.
As our backup solution focus we would review the data volume backup function without additional charge and also the system operation interface which is in a simplified way
