Veritas NetBackup Benefits

This solution is just for disaster recovery purposes. Businesses need to have a disaster recovery solution in place, especially those with many computers. This solution can be used for replication or backup. It is mandatory for many telecommunications enterprises and some banks.

We use it like any other backup solution for resource restoration when needed and for populating systems in environments with data.

We use NetBackup's data management strategies for multi-target backups and retentions. That's the short answer. 

The full explanation is quite involved. It would require describing our environment, our workflows, and how we use policies and vaulting policies to move data around. 

But to keep it brief, NetBackup simplifies managing data across multiple targets with various retention periods.

NetBackup is part of a multi-layer strategy. It's one of the many tools we use, to ensure we don't rely on a single product. So, the product has positively impacted our protection strategy.

Moreover, we're satisfied with its performance when it comes to the deduplication function.

I've restored and recovered application, disk, and server failures. The solution has been beneficial to us. We could see the benefits of the tool almost immediately. We don't need to have a failure to use a backup. Sometimes, to create a test environment, we clone an environment from the backup and have it up and running.

Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

Sometimes, we cannot connect to vCenter because of certification issues, and we use the solution to renew the vCenter certification. We do not get back up and VM information while doing backup for Veritas NetBackup. However, we don't face any problems after we stop and resume the update.

After we scheduled our protection plan, we didn't face any corrupted backup problems with Veritas NetBackup.

Sometimes there are bottlenecks in the backup infrastructure or there are some profile issues. If you have big infrastructure, you need to have a team and backup infrastructure in place in order to back up smaller sites and provide better, more efficient, solutions.

We rely on the certainty of the data recovery. Also, if you want to replicate something, it gives us a very good option to replicate the application or server into different enrollments. So it saves a lot of time for us.

The backup is the first thing that you must have in your mind in order to have security. It is important to backup everything in case there are accidents when files are deleted. Additionally, backups are important for security reasons to protect against ransomware and other threats. This solution has been very important for our organization.

We rely heavily and use a wide range of its features and options. Currently, we run the latest version and have integrated Flex Appliances into our infrastructure, which has become a core component of our backup strategy. This integration ensures a seamless working relationship between the two, which is highly beneficial.

Six months ago, I recovered several dozen TBs of production data after our storage failed. I recovered Enterprise Vault, Exchange, Oracle, and SQL DBs and VMs. We did not lose any production data and immediately after recovery, the business ran smoothly.
