We use Netbackup here with VMware vSphere 4.1. Never any real issues. It works well, way better than the VCB days.
I’ve heard good things about VEEM, but never used it so I can’t comment further. I do intend to do a POC with VEEM just to make sure I’m not missing anything.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VM backups
All,
I just started looking into backing up our VM’s with Netbackup. I have a couple of questions though.
- Should I look at Symantec’s solution? Is there something better out there (VEEM?)
- I will need to do single file restores, not just system restores, can Symantec handle that with an all Linux environment?
- How do most people do this and how are the results?
Environment:
Master server/media servers – all Linux, NB version 7.1
VM Clients are Win/Unix.
Thanks,
-Kevin
