Veritas NetBackup Upgrade Assessment
Stay up-to-date and get the most out of your backup infrastructure!
As data centers evolve and IT challenges increase, maintaining backup windows and timely recovery becomes increasingly difficult. Veritas NetBackup evolves with the data center offering more options and greater flexibility to meet the increasing demands. NetBackup has been released to General Availability for Enterprise Server and NetBackup appliances. The new features of NetBackup provide an even more efficient use of backup resources and reduce the level of effort required to maintain RPO and RTO objectives. Recognizing these benefits, NetX has developed a comprehensive NetBackup assessment service that evaluates the health of an existing NetBackup environment and also includes an upgrade path to NetBackup. Additionally, the NetBackup Upgrade Assessment will detail the key features of NetBackup providing the most benefit.
