We use Veritas NetBackup to back up our data and restore it if needed. As the volume of our backup increased, our backup speed decreased. We needed a solution to perform the backup faster, so we started using Veritas NetBackup. NetBackup is deployed on-premises.

We use it for the backup solution. It is a backup solution. We have a file server and our data file server, everything. We use it for VM server backup, too. Normally, Veritas NetBackup is a shared service. We are a part of one of the companies in our group. So, it is a shared service. We are now looking for that. We are creating our own data center.

I've used it for a variety of use cases, including backing up data for some banking and telecom customers. One of the most common use cases is backing up two appliance applications after a backup. I use it for disaster recovery because, for many enterprises in our country, the backup solution is one way to have disaster recovery. We have replication disaster recovery for using backup, and it is in this case that I deployed some mini-solution backup.

We are an IT company that provides solutions to end users. Most of our end users come from the banking sector, the government sector, and other government-linked companies. When I say that we use Veritas NetBackup, I don't mean to say that we use it internally, but rather that we propose it and use it in solutions that we offer to clients. Most of our clients use Veritas NetBackup to protect their highly critical workloads, which are often situated in virtual machines with Hyper-V or VMware. The primary workloads are databases ranging from Exchange, Oracle, MS SQL, and IBM Db2. And then it goes on to the application sites such as with SharePoint, NFS data, and all those things. Our users require this type of workload data protection on a full-time basis. For backups, we use Veritas NetBackup and Veeam, and for virtualization we mostly use VMware. This covers our environment for all disaster recovery and replication scenarios. At times, we also rely on the default replication tools from either Veeam or VMware. About 70% of our customers come from government agencies, and there are regulations from the Malaysian government that don't allow any data to be transferred to the public cloud. However, that doesn't stop the cloud backup initiatives in Malaysia because the regulation only states that it's not allowed when it goes to a cloud of which they don't know the location. Thus, many of the backup vendors work with local cloud providers to enable cloud backups.

Veritas NetBackup is an enterprise-grade backup and recovery software solution. NetBackup securely restores and backs up files, raw partitions, and directories on a server known as a media server. A server protected by NetBackup is referred to as a NetBackup client. During the backup process, the NetBackup client sends the data through the network to the NetBackup media server, which chooses the appropriate storage media as the backup point.
