Symantec NetBackup

Data recovery services to end of the dark ages of virtualization

While backup takes many forms, recovery shouldn’t. NetBackup with V-Ray technology is the single solution when recovery is needed—whether from tape, disk, snapshot, cloud—in a physical or virtual environment. Only NetBackup with V-Ray unifies backup, deduplication, replication, snapshots, and appliances with support for VMware and Hyper-V in a single product.
