Veritas Backup Exec overview

What is Veritas Backup Exec?

Veritas Backup Exec is a data protection solution designed to help enterprises recover and backup data across virtual, cloud, and physical environments. Administrators can configure and track progress on replication, recovery, or backup jobs and automate disaster recovery (DR) testing processes for data stored on virtual machines.

It offers a ransomware resilience functionality, which allows businesses to prevent unauthorized processes across backups in the media server. IT professionals can conduct a granular search on data captured from SharePoint, mailbox, and Microsoft SQL databases. Veritas Backup Exec also provides intuitive dashboards and wizards to visualize workflows for data replication of off-site, on-premise, or cloud environments.

Veritas Backup Exec facilitates integration with Azure Site Recovery for disaster recovery, Veritas Usage Insights for reporting, NetBackup SaaS Protection for protecting threats across applications such Office 365, Google Cloud G Suite, and Salesforce. Other features include GDPR compliance, virtual machine recovery, cloud data protection, de-duplication, and more.
