The central console has seen a few minor cosmetic changes since the last release, and opens with a customisable dashboard offering a choice of widgets showing details such as job status, VM backups, storage usage and alerts. Bumping it up to $68.33 per FETB per month adds database and application backup, and Linux support.Īs advertised, Backup Exec worked fine with our Windows Server 2016 host system, and we had it loaded and ready in 30 minutes. Subscriptions cost from $55 per FETB per month (for an annual commitment), which includes backup of physical, virtual and cloud file servers to tape, disk or cloud, and data deduplication. Rather than having to pay up-front – from around $2,500 for one front-end terabyte (FETB) for the Capacity Edition Lite – you can now pay monthly. Veritas now offers Backup Exec as a subscription too, which might be more appealing to smaller businesses. The new Instant Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) speeds up data recovery from virtual machines too, and it's also ready to go with vSphere 2016. That's in addition to support for cloud providers including Microsoft Azure and Amazon S3, allowing businesses to easily migrate data off-site and manage it from the same console.
