Veritas NetBackup Stability
The Ethernet backup solution is stable, quite stable. But, for some features like BAMINI-TO-Restore, the new version doesn't have the appropriate support. We have some issues when attempting to create a desktop, especially for a specific version of Linux.
With Windows, we didn't face any problems. But when it came to Linux and Solaris, we experienced many troubles when attempting restores for a certain period.
But, for Oracle, Exchange, SQL, and so on, I found it satisfactory for performing restores. It's mainly the BAMINI-TO-Restore component that caused some trouble, both for Linux and Solaris restores.

Nuno Maia
Backup administrator at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees
I would rate the stability at least an eight. In my opinion, it's one of the best products in the market. I've encountered various products, and in terms of stability, NetBackup is top-notch because it is mainly based on Linux. It can be used in both Linux and Windows servers.
In Linux, it's very, very stable. However, when installed on Windows servers, the problems tend to increase, and stability may decrease. So, eight seems like a reasonable rating overall. The roots of Veritas NetBackup are very very stable. However, when you interact with the user interface or perform configurations, sometimes the GUI may appear a bit glitchy. That will not affect your backups, but it might affect what you are trying to do.

Johnny Bozeman
Principal at a venture capital & private equity firm with 51-200 employees
In terms of stability, no problem. Like I said, if you have multiple tape libraries, you can have one master that has a bunch of multiple media services. So you can have tape libraries all scattered at different sites. The one master server you set up controls all the job functions. When you log into it, it just kicks off the jobs and you can pause jobs. For different sites, you can keep the job turned off. It controls all the functions and all the backup jobs for all the multiple sites. That's all the master server does. It doesn't actually do any backup. It's responsible for making the kicked off jobs to get backed up.
