Veritas Backup Exec offers a comprehensive solution for safeguarding critical data across various environments, including SaaS applications and cloud workloads.
The latest release of Veritas Backup Exec introduces several new features, including malware detection powered by Microsoft Defender, role-based security, and faster backup and recovery performance for virtual machines. These enhancements aim to provide SMBs with the tools they need to detect and recover from ransomware attacks effectively.
Steve Walcott, a server administrator at WalCorp, praised Veritas Backup Exec for its cost-effective design and ease of use in securing data. Christophe Bertrand, practice director at Enterprise Strategy Group, highlighted the importance of SMBs investing in cyber resilience tools like Backup Exec to defend against cyber threats.
Veritas Backup Exec is available as a subscription service and can be easily installed within minutes. SMBs can find a Veritas-certified partner or sign up for a free 60-day trial to experience the benefits of the solution firsthand.
