Overall Satisfaction with Veritas Backup Exec
We use Veritas Backup Exec for Disk-Disk-Tape-Cold Storage. Essentially we use Veritas Backup Exec to manage daily backups along with a disaster recovery plan that allows us to air-gap our backups and cold storage off site. We really wanted an all in one solution that was easy to implement, did not have data tiers, and provided clear licensing plans.
- Easy to setup storage platforms
- Easy to see to which tape sets are in cold storage, associate tapes with backup sets
- Agents are easy to deploy across windows and Linux servers
- Initial setup of backup configuration is not suited towards big data. I wish there was a selection that asks: how much data is within scope for initial, daily, weekly, then it would automatically adjust the backup parameters including timeout windows.
- The new licensing tiers are fantastic. You lease per agent/server. No data tiers, which many of their competitors leverage to extract more money.
- Interface is exceptionally user-friendly for anyone with a modicum of tech training.
