7 Reasons to Choose Veeam Over Veritas NetBackup
Feature
Veeam Benefits
Veritas NetBackup Limitations
Any Hardware
Install Veeam on any hardware
to fit any RPO/RTO required by the business, now and in the future.
Appliance lock-in, as Veritas will always position their appliance to mask the overall complexity of installing and integrating NetBackup. Moreover, only NetBackup appliance storage shelves can be used to increase capacity.
Agentless Application Awareness
Agentless application-aware
backup and recovery and granular application recovery through an intuitive explorer for Microsoft applications.
Agent-based application for granular recovery that requires installing and maintaining agents on each VM.
Built-In Replication
Simplify disaster recovery
by creating an exact copy of a VM in its native format on a secondary virtual infrastructure with RPOs of seconds. Easily orchestrate recovery and create dynamic compliance reports to lower management overhead.
Requires another Veritas tool as Veritas NetBackup has no native VM replication capabilities, multiplying the number of installations and consoles to offer VM replication capabilities.
Instant Recovery
Instant recovery for many workloads:
VM, physical servers, NAS, databases, Cloud VM, and workstations. Cross-platform instant recovery (i.e., VMware to HyperV).
Limited instant recovery capabilities: Basic instant recovery for VMware backups only and no native cross-platform instant recovery.
Recoverability Verification
Advanced verification:
Automatically verify the recoverability of backups, snapshots, and replicas with advanced prebuilt tests, in isolated sandboxes.
Limited verification: Only basic verification that backup files are readable. No checking to see if data is usable, lacking advanced verification in an isolated lab.
Ransomware Detection
Identify a potential ransomware attack
in nearly real-time with customizable agentless monitoring tools that identify the symptoms of a ransomware attack on production VMs. Scan VMs using trusted antivirus definitions before recovering to production.
Anomaly detection is solely done through backup job metadata (size, file number, deduplication rate). Veritas supports a limited number of backup policies for scanning prior to a restore.
Break Admin Bottlenecks
Make your data protection strategy resilient
with Veeam’s user-friendly design and give non-backup IT staff the ability to handle backup and recovery when your backup administrator is absent.
NetBackup makes organizations too dependent on their NetBackup Administrator. Its inherent complexity means that only NetBackup experts can manage backup. This requires specific training to manage backup and recovery operations or rely on professional services.
