- Easy to use for administrator
- Expendable in case of storages
- Hardware Independent
- Flexible Licenses
- Reliable Infrastructure
- Independent storage solution
- Integration with almost every Database
- Integration with Virtual Environment
- Graphical representation of Storage
- OPS CENTER provide detailed reporting
- Admin console
- SAP HANA application Templates should also be introduced instead of scripting
- SAP MAXDB application template should also be introduced
- Tape Management need improvement
- MOBILE connectivity is missing
- Admin console is so simple it should be more funcky or stylish
- Small database should also be considered for backup
For SMEs veritas would be an expensive solution because its an enterprise level solution may not be recommended for smaller organization. Backup administrator with high skill may requied for such solution which is also not affordable by them.

Veritas Netbackup, it works.
- Upgrades are typically easy and normally have either no issues or very few that are easily resolved (wait a month or 2 before upgrading)
- Using accelerator for the vm environment works well, and file level restores have been successful
- Full vm recovery has worked every time
- Backing up a physical server and restoring to a vm works as described
- GRT Exchange backups are pretty easy, to setup
- File level restores are simple
- GRT Exchange restores using the ip less dag take a long time to browse for files to restore
- VM file level restores dont work without a client installed, but the client is not needed for the backup
- GRT backups can eat up a lot of time for the restore
- Full VM recovery works but typically you have to remove the nic, and play around with other settings for it to work

- 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.

NetBackup is reliable but can get expensive to maintain
- NetBackup integrates well with Windows servers. The client is reliable.
- NetBackup does a good job of tracking tapes in the catalog, whether the tapes are still on-site in the robot or off-site at a storage facility.
- We saw a significant reduction (between 20% and sometimes as much as 80%) on backup sizes with deduplication. This was more so with things like Exchange and SharePoint, less so with images and video files.
- The upgrade process with NetBackup is very challenging, at least in our implementation. Each upgrade required a significant amount of troubleshooting, and then we would have to fix integrations with other Veritas and Microsoft products that were no longer compatible with the minor release update of NetBackup.
- NetBackup doesn't always provide, at least in our environment, the best status reports on what is working and what is not. If something didn't go right with a backup, we didn't always see it right away.
- The cost of NetBackup was increasing. We were not licensed for their multi-data center replication and high availability components, so we made the decision to move off NetBackup rather than accept a significant price jump.

- We never experienced a significant system or data loss during the time we used NetBackup. We restored individuals files and small databases based upon user mistakes, but we never had to implement a DR plan. From that aspect, it is difficult to evaluate the ROI. Backups are a commodity service. Features are very similar across multiple tools. Once you decide to stay on-prem or move to the cloud, the list of options are narrowed. Then it becomes a matter of price.
- From an administration and support perspective, the ROI is low. Vendor technical support is not always responsive. The first two tiers of support are not knowledgeable and their typical recommendation is to read the white paper. My small team spent a lot of time troubleshooting NetBackup, often without much vendor help.
