NetBackup for SharePoint
Overall Satisfaction with Symantec NetBackup
We use NetBackup for our SharePoint Farm. We like that NetBackup has an add-in for SharePoint so in case there's a need to restore a single item from a list or document library it can be done easily. We resolved our problem with not being able to restore a single item or a SharePoint site collection which is beneficial since now we are able to restore items without the need of restoring a whole DB. We use NetBackup across our Americas division.
Pros
- It has a flexible schedule that can be set to perform the required back ups.
- It has add-on for other applications such as Microsoft SharePoint.
- NetBackup lets you restore individual items or site collections from SharePoint.
Cons
- I dislike the fact that every server needs a license in a SharePoint Farm; servers such as the indexing server shouldn't need a license if NetBackup will not be used for it.
- NetBackup had a positive impact on the business by cutting down the restore time from 24 hours at times to just a couple of hours.
While comparing NetBackup (NB) to Metalogix SharePoint Backup we found NB to have more features and flexibility than Metalogix SharePoint Backup. The licensing price was also better than what Metalogix SharePoint Backup had to offer.
