I am a database guy and daily deal with Db backups and came across multiple tools which directly backsup data to tape, since I started dealing with Netbackup, I found it useful, easy to use, configurable and most important reliable. Reliability is the most important factor when dealing with backups and restores and in last 4 years of it;s usage I never faced any issue while recovering a backup. it do what it is designed for. Other useful factors are it has de-duplication features, policy controls, various scheduling options, long term backup retention possibility, etc. it's definitely a industry standard for backups and compete strongly with other solutions out in market.

I dislike that,

-It doesn't provide end to end encryption for Db backups, not sure about file system.

-It has retry feature but it still fails with Exit code 1 and there is no way to get it overridden, I dislike this because in my system, failures are linked with tickets so even after retry if it succeeds, ticket will still come to me and I hate that seriously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fast and it is VERY reliable. It can handle anything from small backups (megabytes/terabytes) all the way up to several petabytes. The tool is very configurable, but unlike other tools, it retains the ease-of-use that drew me to Veritas in the first place. We started using the de-duplication feature and found it very useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Technical Support has improved slightly over the past few years, but it is still rather confusing. It would be nice if there were a centralized dashboard as well. The user interface in general needs an overhaul. We also had some struggles when utilizing this backup solution with HyperV clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
