"Backup that just gets the job done."
2.5/5
What do you like best about NetVault Backup?

Their support has been helpful when I need to call in. The product works. So far I haven't had any issues restoring data so long as I got it properly backed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetVault Backup?

It uses old backup metholodogies ie: periodic full backups followed by periodic incrementals instead of a newer type of backup methodology like a first time full ingest of data followed by forever incrementals with occaisional rollups. I don't like that dedupe is a seperate purchase through a seperate disk based dedupe device. I also don't like how the sorting works in the web UI. For example: In job activity when trying to sort jobs by ascending or descending it doesn't sort properly. Also, when listing tape drive slots sometimes it resets the view in the middle of working with tapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NetVault sounds great, but leaves much to be desired"
1.5/5
What do you like best about NetVault Backup?

The pricing from Dell was better than other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetVault Backup?

The interface is not intuitive. It supports pre and post command line strings but none work. Dell sells the product along with their Removable Drive (RD) solutions, but it has no built in support for such media types. The web interface is very slow and clunky. Operations take a great deal of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
