It is a standard backup solution

What differentiates Backup Exec from other similar products?
For physical, hybrid, and cloud environments, Backup Exec offers complete data protection. It contributes to business continuity, downtime reduction, and data protection for Enterprise's vital information. Products have always changed to support industry innovation and new technologies.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I was happy to see that although having additional functionality for contemporary IT, this version was still simple to use for our daily file backups. I have successfully backed up and restored a server on Hyper-V using backup to disc in addition to backup to tape. We are on version 2022 right now, which resembles version 2021.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The software occasionally stops responding. After being duplicated to another media, it is impossible to remove a backup in the simplest way. Even if the destination storage is in the same place, performing a backup to a server in a distant location is quite challenging in terms of bandwidth.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
In particular, if your business employs legacy hardware, I would strongly advise any IT staff looking to upgrade their current system to consider our backup/restore solution. It has always satisfied my needs during the many changes over the course of the many years I've used it.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Effective Service

This product is excellent for backup solutions

What differentiates Backup Exec from other similar products?
Backup Exec is used to archive, backup, and restore data. As of now, our server environment is housed in a local datacenter. It's helpful to have a software/solution partner who can handle our needs there as well as we will be transferring servers to the cloud in the future.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Backup Exec has been used by our company. Backup Exec has always been a key component of our disaster recovery plan, whether we were using older versions of the software with HP tape drives and media or our present setup with Hp PowerVault hardware and LTO tapes. Multiple instances of Backup Exec 2015 R3 are still operational, and we are still using legacy hardware.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The only time I have an issue is when new versions undergo significant changes. The majority of people are accustomed to and rely on the core functioning; while adding new features is good, don't change it! I have no issues.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
All corporate environments are ideally suited for Veritas Backup Exec. Because of the quickness and recovery choices, it has saved me endless hours of time. They provide a variety of agents for diverse software, databases, VMware, etc. Just what you need is purchased.
Pros
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service
- Saves Time
