help Veritas Backup Exec FAQ

Does Veritas Backup Exec itself provide continuous VM replication?

Backup Exec is primarily backup and recovery software, while continuous replication and disaster-recovery orchestration are associated with separate products and integrations. A deployment should verify the exact Zerto or Veritas component instead of assuming every Backup Exec license includes failover.

What is Backup Exec used to restore?

Backup Exec can protect and restore workloads such as physical servers, virtual machines, applications, and file data, depending on the edition and agents installed. Recovery can target the original environment or another supported location.

Is Zerto the same product as Veritas Backup Exec?

No, Zerto is a separate disaster-recovery and workload-mobility platform that Veritas acquired in 2021. Backup Exec and Zerto should therefore be evaluated as separate products with different recovery designs.

Does Backup Exec replace an off-site disaster-recovery site?

Not automatically, because backup copies and a ready failover site solve different problems. Backup Exec can send copies to remote or cloud storage, but the recovery time depends on the target infrastructure, network, and recovery procedure.
