A tape backup solution that’s robust and handy.

What are the best aspects of this product?

I deal with databases a lot. I constantly do Db backups and have tried a number of tools that backs up data straight to tape since discovering Netbackup. I find it really handy. It's simple to utilize. I can configure it to my liking and very dependable on a daily basis.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

There are some things that I don't like. It failed to offer an end-to-end encryption in making Db backups. I'm not at all sure about its file system. There's a "re-try" functionality that still doesn't work with Exit code 1. There's no other way to do an overwrite with it. Tis is something I don't favor since failures are ultimately linked with tickets.
