The initial setup of Veritas Backup Exec is simple. The solution is easy to integrate into systems. You only need to have IP addresses and VLANs and then it is easy to set up.

The initial setup was straightforward. It's pretty user-friendly, although basic training is necessary. Any person with IT knowledge should be able to set it up. Depending on the hardware, the process could take around one hour to complete.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the workload. The process involves installing agents for the relevant workloads and configuring backup schedules based on criticality and recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). During this phase, decisions are made regarding which backups will be full or incremental and whether duplication will be implemented. Additionally, considerations are given to the features to be enabled, such as deduplication, compression, or encryption.

The setup is easy but ongoing management depends on whether the infrastructure is physical or virtual. 

Backups take 40 minutes but can be complex depending on the environment. 

I rate the setup process a four out of ten.

It’s effortless to set up the solution. It’s not difficult at all. I’d rate it a four out of five in terms of the ease of setup.

The deployment is swift and doesn’t take too much time. We didn’t really have a specific strategy going into the implementation.

We only need one person to handle deployment and maintenance tasks.

We are a BFSI company. We need to keep a log of eight to nine years. We are concerned about the log getting deleted whenever we upgrade the tool. We need our oldest log to be migrated easily to our new version. It is the only concern we have. The deployment takes a year. It is easy to maintain the tool. One person is enough to maintain the tool.

The initial setup of this solution is very easy. We require just half an hour for initial deployment, and for post-deployment.

The installation is very easy.

The initial setup is easy, depending on the market.

Firstly, we need to continue operating with the customer to understand their requirements. For example, they need the retention policy set for their email backups. Most customers prefer a weekly backup schedule and two to three months of retention. This clarification is crucial. However, during installation, it typically takes just one day for setup and configuration

It is very simple and straightforward. It is done in 30 minutes. One engineer is enough for its deployment.

The whole implementation in a small-sized or medium-sized environment takes a maximum of three days. In a large one, it depends on the number of machines and different use cases that you're looking at, but usually, in a week, you are done. In the first two to three days, you would have done quite a lot of the deployment. It is just more about having conversations with the backup admin to understand, for example, how often they want the data backed up and other little things, but in terms of getting the solution to work, it is pretty straightforward.

Because I've been using Veritas Backup Exec for 22 plus years, the initial setup is quite easy.

The installation and configuration, including tape drive, agent configuration, etc., took about one to one and a half hours.

The initial setup is complicated and takes 45 minutes to complete. However, the prerequisites, including environment monitoring, make operating easy.

We find the solution to be straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex or difficult. I'd rate it a ten out of ten in terms of ease of implementation. 

We always keep three people (engineers) on the solution. During the implementation, we have three people there, and they can handle maintenance once it is up. If, for a backup, somebody's not available for a particular reason, we'll be covered as we don't rely on one person.

There were no problems with implementation.

The initial setup of the solution is straightforward and can be completed in one or two days, with all of the backup job configurations and tests restored.

The initial setup is very easy.

Normally we take about two hours. It's just that sometime if the environment is old then you have to fix the environment first. But if everything work 100%, two hours, max four hours and then you're done.

Generally, Web Backup is more complex, but Backup Exec is easy to use. 

The initial setup is not very complex. I've deployed in different projects, but installation was the easiest part for me. Having a good plan for the backup solution is more complex than installation, I think. You have to consider the concurrent back-up jobs and the speed and data growth. 

It is good that you don't need to install an extra database.

The initial setup is straightforward and simple. It's not a complex implementation by any means. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

I did not participate in the installation, but it's a bit cumbersome to use compared to other products.

The initial implementation was actually fairly easy. It was pretty straightforward. I actually just rebuilt it and put it onto a newer server. It is actually very easy.

I had deployed within a day due to the fact that I was familiar with it. If somebody wasn't familiar with it, might take them up to a couple of days to do it. I was very familiar with it and therefore could do it pretty fast. It took me just a few hours or probably a day's worth of work to get everything in there, the way I wanted it.

We do not require any additional staff for deployment and maintenance.

The initial setup was pretty simple because we have expertise. We are partners with Veritas and we do installations on a regular basis. 

In reality, the installation time is even shorter for the Veritas portion. Integration, of course, takes a bit of time. You need approvals for the different application owners, for example. It takes time, but installation is a maximum of one day.

The installation of this solution was easy. Before the installation begins, you have to know the structure of your company and what scenario fits. For example, we are a company with master media, and we install it on our servers. We have about five full-size media centers and a master server. The installation is straightforward for an IT person.

Its initial setup was complex because I had an old version of Backup Exec, and I could not upgrade directly to version 20. I had to do a new installation and migrate the data. It was nice but complex.

Its installation is very simple. It took around one hour. 

It is also very simple to upgrade. I just need to launch the new version. Upgrade also takes around one hour. There are some files that we need to upload. We also need to install some drivers and check the compatibility. Every version comes with a driver pack that we need to install.

The initial setup is intermediate. You should at least be familiar with it before you install it. It's not easy.

The setup was simple. I do not really remember exactly how much time it took to set up because it has been quite some time now, but I know that we did not have issues getting it up and running.  

It's easy to set up, setting up it is no problem. The configuration is also very easy. 

The setup time for Backup Exec was about one week. If the structure is very heavy, then it will take around one month to set up. 

The initial setup was extremely straightforward and it was full of wizards.

In the end, we did not use it as our technical teams were not able to deploy it. 

The initial setup can be a bit complex. We had to adjust some settings on one server in order to finalize the deployment.

At first, because it was such a new product at that time, there was a huge learning curve. But once I understood how they back things up, all the versions that followed after that were pretty straightforward and there wasn't much of an additional learning curve.

Setting up Backup Exec was complex, but it only took one day. We had help from resellers and consultants. In total, we had five people on our deployment team. 

The initial setup is not complex or difficult. It's very straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation process. 

The installation takes maybe two or three hours. It's pretty fast.

We have the same team that handles deployment and maintenance. 

It is a bit complex, but it is a good solution to work with.

The deployment duration depends on the size of the project. For a big project, it takes around 7 to 10 working days to deploy it and do all the configurations.

The initial setup was simple. It takes about 8 people to maintain the operational side of things.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. I didn't try to make it any more complex than it already was.

Deployment is really quick; It took us less than one day.

The initial setup of this solution is complex.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. 

The initial setup was definitely straightforward.

The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward, and it can be installed with an in-house team.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. The deployment takes between one and two hours. One person is sufficient for the installation, although you may need help from other people for the integration with other solutions.

One administrator is enough to maintain this solution.

The solution is easy to deploy to all servers. 

The initial setup is easy and quite user-friendly.

Setup can be both straightforward and complex. If you're talking about just a single installation, it's straightforward. But if you come back to the client-server architecture, it's complex because it has to match the versions and it has a one-version backup compatibility. If you had to go back to a previous version, then you struggle. Thus, it's simple for standalone but is complex for the client-server architecture.

The setup was straightforward but Veritas assisted us with the implementation, which in turn ensured that the best practices were adhered to.

The initial setup of Veritas Backup Exec is simple.

Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer. 

The initial setup of this solution is not difficult. It takes between forty-five minutes and an hour to set up.

This initial setup of this solution is not complex, but once it is deployed you need to have somebody who can handle it.

It's a very simple configuration for the Backup Exec 2012 R2 solution.

I am not familiar with the installation process, but my understanding is that it's simple.

It is very easy to install and implement. In addition, the upgrades are also easy to implement.

The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes a day or two, and then you have to run the system. To maintain the solution we don't need any resources. It works on its own and we get alerts and work according to those alerts. There's not a dedicated team, just a system team. 

I was involved, it was not a complicated setup. 

The initial setup of this solution is complex. On the other hand, the deployment itself was straightforward.

The initial setup is complex when you are replacing an existing server.

The deployment will take a maximum of two to three hours.

The initial setup was straightforward.

At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch. 

The initial setup is straightforward and only takes about half an hour. We do upgrade patches when new releases come through and also carry out regular maintenance. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment was easy. I didn't have any problems. I deployed it on the very first day myself and installed it into that was IBM built into Dell team backups. I didn't have to install any additional drivers. The application already had them, so it was able to recognize my team's loopholes easily. I didn't have a problem with that. And then having to set up my backup selection also wasn't a problem. I was able to do it easily. 

Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong. 

The installation is straightforward, other solutions are more difficult, such as Veritas NetBackup. The whole process took approximately three to five days.
