I have been using Backup Exec for 20 years!

  • November 23, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For over 20 years, our organization has been using Backup Exec. From the older versions of the software with our HP tape drives & media to our current environment with Dell PowerVault hardware and LTO tapes, BE has always been a crucial part of our disaster recovery plan. We still have legacy hardware in place and have multiple instances of Backup Exec 2010 R3 still running strong. This version of the software is, without a doubt, one of the most reliable products I have ever used! There were some growing pains with newer versions after 2010, as they tried to modernize the software while unfortunately removing the simplicity that made it great. This is the reason we have stuck with v2010 for so long.

Last year after a server crash, we reinstalled with v2021. I was pleased to find that this version was still easy to use for our daily file backups while having other features for modern IT. Aside from backup to tape, I have also used backup to disk and have successfully backed up & restored a server on Hyper-V. Today, we are on v2022, which looks the same as v2021.

As a registered charity organization, we are always looking for vendors that offer nonprofit discounts. I cannot give enough praise to Veritas for being a TechSoup donation program member for all these years!
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complaint would be when major changes are made to new versions. Adding new features is good, but don't mess with the core functionality that most people are used to and rely on! I have no complaints about the current version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our daily file backups to tape.

Comprehensive backup solution

  • November 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Backup Exec's cataloging of all backups is extensive, and makes it easy to restore on a granular level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced and potentially useful features are not easy to implement. Sets of simplified step by step instructions that would apply in common scenarios would be very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Insuring that I can always recover from files that were accidentally deleted or corrupted. It is also a strong line of defense against ransomware and other malicious attacks.

Works well with small data backups

  • November 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Highly recommended for small backup jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't work well with large data backups, over 2 TB, as jobs sent to tapes tend to timeout and not back up data. Never really know if I have a good backup unless I restore it onto another device. Most backups jobs tend to be incomplete on large backups, and I have to cancel them; some run for 2-6 days, only partially backing up or without backing up anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None, at this time, have had these issues for years since purchasing software. I was told not to allow backups to upload by one of your Techs. He said that was causing the problems, but that hasn't made any difference.

Powerful and intuitive software that fits into just about any environment and backup need

  • November 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the intuitive interface and the flexible aspects of the software, which combine into a powerful yet cost-effective tool that my staff can understand and utilize to manage our backup and restore environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is the forced upgrades to the software to maintain support. The upgrade process isn't over burdensome; it is just that they take time and effort to validate the changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Veritas Backup Exec to backup, archive, and restore data. So far, we are local datacenter-based server environment. In the future, as we will be moving servers to the cloud, it's nice to have a software/solution partner who is able to support our needs in that area, as well.
