Overall Satisfaction with Veritas NetBackup
NetBackup is used to perform automated file level and disk level backups of all Enterprise servers. It is primarily used by the IT department but is also available to other departments as a service. The Enterprise Storage team provides this service to allow for the restoration of servers in the event of data loss or corruption. This is an invaluable tool for both business continuity and disaster recovery.
Pros
- Full Backup
- Incremental Backup
- File Level Restore
- OS level restore for VMware
Cons
- When an error in the backup process occurs, manual intervention is usually necessary by the Server Administrator.
- Some Virtual Machine servers cannot be backed up while online.
- User client is a little clumsy while attempting to access files for restore.
- When data is lost, we are able to quickly restore and return to normal business.
- When an application upgrade fails we are able to go back to a known good state.
- Large restores are slow at times, so be sure to plan for this in your recovery point objective.
- Code42 (formerly CrashPlan)
CrashPlan has the capability to sync data with a cloud storage source. This is great for a workstation where data is typically only for one user. However, Netbackup does a much better job for maintaining multiple levels of file restores for Enterprise Servers. Netbackup has a superior management console that does not rely on Cloud services in the event of an internet outage.
