01 · What it is

Backup Exec, made clear.

Not every company needs (or wants) the enterprise platform: Backup Exec protects VMware, Hyper-V, physical servers, Microsoft 365 and cloud with one console and simple per-capacity or per-socket licensing. Granular restores, immutability towards compatible storage and cloud: all the substance — without the operational weight.

Backup Execthe proven engine
Storage & clouddisk, NAS, S3, Azure — immutable too
Protected in a day, not in a project

Guided setup

Honest wizards reaching the first backup in hours: generalist IT can do it alone.

M365 included

Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams: SaaS protected without another product.

Granular restores

The single email or the file from the VM's backup: without mounting worlds.

Cloud as target

S3 and Azure with immutability: the modern off-site for SMBs too.

03 · In depth

Small outside, solid inside: what's underneath

The engine shares DNA with Veritas enterprise technology: agents for Windows/Linux, agentless VMware/Hyper-V protection with GRT (granular recovery inside VMs), integrated deduplication, AES encryption, post-job verification; targets range from disk/NAS to tape to object storage with immutability; per-capacity licensing simplifies the math; for an SMB watched by our NOC it's the ideal companion: light to operate, serious in its results.

  • GRT — inside the VM: files, mail, AD objects individually recoverable
  • Dedup & encryption — storage that pays off, data locked down
  • S3 immutability — object lock for SMBs too: real anti-ransomware
  • Automatic verification — an unverified backup isn't a backup
  • Clear licensing — per capacity: understandable and predictable
  • Growth path — if the company explodes, the road to NetBackup is marked
