Overall Satisfaction with Veritas Backup Exec

We use Veritas Backup Exec mainly for the Backup of our data and bare metal servers. We use a scenario with a primary backup to disk and then copy to tape, which is then stored in safe on another location.
Based on this we have an easy and fast recovery from disk, if a colleague accidentally deleted his files (again) and a disaster recovery from tape. Veritas Backup Exec makes a pretty good job in this scenario and works well. It passes every test till now and every recovery of the encrypted tapes are working without data loss.
  • Backup to disk
  • Backup to tape
  • Fast recovery from disk
  • Reliability
  • The design
  • The User interface
  • Files are sometimes hard to find
  • Endpoint Protection (Clients)
Veritas Backup Exec is a somewhat classic backup software and should be used es such. It's main capability is server backup, but it would be a fine idea to integrate some endpoint protection.
Therefore the scenarios are totally typical. Every environment who has the need to backup their data (in other words: every environment) has the right scenario for such a software.
