What differentiates Backup Exec from other similar products?
I think Veritas Backup Exec has so many granular configurations that I couldn't see it in other products.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I mean, you can configure so many resources to be protected via console and offers granular restore also, which is an option that many other solutions do not have.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Not bein able to restore objects of Databases such as tables, stored procedures, etc. They've done a great job with single files, why not take it to a whole new level doing the same thing database wise.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a great product, if you're considering to implement an stable solution for data protection, you can go for it. But, if you're looking for a solution that gives you some extra value, you might need something else.
