Overall Satisfaction with Veritas NetBackup

It is being used across the whole organization. It provides data protection for mission-critical data to various mediums ranging from tape to vtl.

Pros

  • uses in-house catalog vs database products
  • Netbackup -- Biomni provides self-service backup subscription with a simple to use user interface
  • Agentless backup for virtual servers
  • Connectivity to major cloud service providers.
  • The client can perform self restore from the server

Cons

  • Their user interface could be updated as the user interface has been around for a long time.
  • Advance features are a challenge to configure
  • Media Server MDSP limitation may require proper planning
  • Cost may be a driving factor to look into alternative solutions
  • The self-service portal is useful for customers/users, especially when it provides a simple summary page on the backup capacity for charging references.
  • Agentless backup on virtual clients
Veritas NetBackup provides a far better backup solution in terms of the available options and configurability of backups.
It's a more advanced backup tool compared to Data Protector.
Veritas Self Service is a user-friendly and simple interface where the user can choose from the pre-defined backup policy.
For a new backup administrator, it may pose a challenge to configure advanced features, as to enable the features it requires to go in-depth into settings which are not easy to locate.
