Overall Satisfaction with Symantec Backup Exec

We use Symantec Backup Exec for the whole agency's daily data back up.
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Easy access to any specific time point
  • Easy to retrieve data
  • Interface can be friendlier
  • Taping reading speed for data retrieval can be improved
  • Error message can be more specific
  • Prevent data loss
  • Improve data integrity
  • Provide data recovery solution for data damage
It is perfect for organizations that require data backup on a frequent basis. It is also perfect for when you need to retrieve data from a certain point of time/day. I don't think it does data encryption, so it will be less appropriate in situations where data requires encryption and backup all at once.
