"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."

"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."

"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"It needs an easier interface."

We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
