Veritas Backup Exec (BE) has always been one of our top choices for on-premises data protection.

It delivers a comprehensive range ofbackupand recovery services.

All four components of MS365 can be secured

Microsoft365 (MS365) backups now support SharePoint andTeamsas well as Exchange Online and OneDrive.

Deployment is swift; we installed BE on aDellPowerEdge R760xs Windows Server 2022 host in 20 minutes.

Adding our VMware vSphere host was simple, and we only had to provide itsIP addressand credentials.

Veritas takes data protection very seriously, and the job wizard always advises you to enableencryption.

SMBs that want every data backup and recovery angle covered will love Backup Exec 22.2.
