It’s not uncommon for IT organizations to report data growth of 40-60 percent per year. To keep up, you need backups that run as fast as possible without disrupting production activity. NetBackup combines innovative design with the latest technical advancements to deliver impressive performance numbers with minimal impact. • Accelerator—Eliminate full backups once and for all. With Veritas NetBackupTM Accelerator, only changed blocks are backed up each time. These blocks are combined with previous backups to synthesize a new full backup for quick recovery. • Snapshots—Let the storage system run backups for you. With Veritas NetBackupTM Replication Director, snapshots are orchestrated, cataloged, and replicated using storage technologies from vendors such as NetApp and EMC. |

Whether backing up a remote office, a cloud-hosted workload, or a customer site as part of a backup service, backups over a wide area network (WAN) or the Internet must be as efficient as possible. NetBackup leverages the latest change tracking and deduplication technologies to make these backups not just possible, but practical. • Virtual Appliance for Remote Offices—Veritas NetBackupTM Virtual Appliance is an integrated solution deployable for remote offices. It provides simplified and secure data protection in a small footprint at lower cooling and power costs. With built-in deduplication benefits, you can significantly decrease storage and network utilization. • Extreme data reduction—By combining Veritas NetBackupTM Accelerator change tracking with Veritas NetBackupTM Intelligent Client Deduplication, backup traffic is further reduced and full backup seeding is noticeably faster. WAN optimization can further increase performance by as much as ten times when backups are transferred to the primary site. |
| Feature 11 |
The unthinkable happens. Services are down and the clock is ticking. There’s no time to waste: it’s time to recover from backup.
