Ransomware recovery has become validated and protects critical workloads across multiple accounts
The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy. Consolidating those or offering a slimmer permission set for read-only backup (versus full restore) would help with security review friction. Cross-account restore into a target account still requires manual steps for KMS. If Clumio could handle re-encrypting with the target account's CMK during restore rather than requiring Multi-Region Key pre-staging, that would save significant preparation time. Also, the restore API could surface better progress telemetry since right now, large RDS restores are a bit of a black box until they complete or fail. Finally, DocumentDB and MongoDB Atlas backup support would round out our stack nicely.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
"Veritas Alta Data Protection is an industry leader, and I am quite impressed by the leadership that they have in this segment."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment, we have seen benefits in the form of saving time and resources."
"In the last two years, we faced issues with ransomware, but because of the encryption level which we set with this backup software, we were able to restore all of our data without losing a single file."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"Since Veritas Alta Data Protection recently entered the market, it does have limited technical resources for support."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
"I hope we will be able to use Veritas Alta Data Protection in a very user-friendly manner, which is what I am expecting from Veritas features."
"The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative."
