5 Reasons to Choose Veeam over Veritas Backup Exec
Feature
Veeam Benefits
Veritas Backup Exec Limitations
Meet Any RPO/RTO
Advanced capabilities your business needs:
to achieve any RPO/RTO with out‑of‑the‑box capabilities like CDP, replication, storage snapshot, and instant recovery.
Basic backup: Backup Exec does not offer CDP or snapshot orchestration and lacks instant restore capabilities for most workloads, struggling to hit lower RPO/RTO targets.
Beyond Backup
Fully manage the lifecycle of your backups
with recoverability verification, ransomware scanning, automated repository tiering and go beyond backup recovery utilizing data labs.
No ability to perform sophisticated operations on backups (i.e. most basic recoverability verification, no ransomware scanning) or to reuse backups for business purposes (no on‑demand sandbox).
Cross Platform Recovery
Seamlessly recover data
to a dissimilar platform in the case of a disaster, minimizing downtime when the original platform is not available.
Backup data is linked to a deduplication catalog, making it a challenge to recover elsewhere than the original platform.
Malware‑Free Restore
Automatically scan data for malware
during restore and identify the most recent clean restore point using Veeam’s built‑in capabilities as well as third party threat detection tools.
No clean restore or ability to scan a backup prior to a restore. Backup exec will only monitor basic changes in a backup job.
Unmatched NAS Backup
Protect data for all major types of NAS
with fast backup and recovery capabilities (instant file share recovery).
Rely on the NDMP protocol for NAS backup that is not restorable anywhere and cannot be instantly recovered.
