Overall Satisfaction with Symantec NetBackup
The software is used on a daily basis for a full backup of our IT Infrastructure. We use the system to perform daily backups to disk that are offloaded to tapes on a weekly basis. The system allows us to perform backups of both our physical machines that are in the server room and on our manufacturing floor as well as our entire VM environment.
- Backup to Disk
- Physical to Virtual Conversion
- Remote agent support
- Functionality of importing jobs does not work 100% of the time
- When attempting a restore from tape the system does not tell you what tapes are needed until the job is already started
- Instant Discovery and add of agents
- They system has provided us with a DRP solution for bacups
- Reduced time to backup with Backup to Disk
- Off load to Tapes has decreased our backup time
As stated earlier the system is great for our needs I believe that every system needs to be evaluated for individual requirements to make sure that they are bet to fill the business need. Is Netebackup the best. NO, Is it the worst No. It meets our needs and does its job.
