Veritas NetBackup Reviews & Product Details

Netbackup is a powerful backup software that will allow you to:

- backup files at the Operating System level. I mean, the files and folders you choose. You will need to deploy an agent in the machine that you want to backup.

- backup virtual machines, e.g. VMware and Hyper-V. No agent is required in this case. Just provide the credentials of your vCenter.

- use different destinations as backup device, tape devices, EMC Datadomain, HP StoreOnce, disk, etc.

- it has the possibility to backup applications like Exchange and MS SQL Server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of the product is very complex and for sure you will need some time to get use to it.

In order to configure email notifications, a third party tool is required.

The reporting is poor because you need to install OpsCenter. Free license is very limited and if you want to have the full version, the license is very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that I can instantly capture a section of my screen by hitting PrtScrn. Video capture is also very handy for creating educational videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
