Wesam Qashou - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature backup solution, with many features, and great support
Veritas NetBackup is the first line of defense when disaster strikes. Before performing disaster recovery, we must have a good backup of our image that is also protected from ransomware. This way, we have a golden image that is resilient to ransomware attacks. We saw the benefits of Veritas NetBackup within the first three months.

It supports cross-platform backup and recovery, allowing customers to back up from one platform and recover to another.

In addition to virtual machine backups, the platform supports physical server backups, file backups, and database backups.
