FINDINGS: VEEAM FAILED TO PERFORM A RESTORE AT 24 CONCURRENT APPLICATIONS. NETBACKUP PERFORMED A RESTORE OF 24 CONCURRENT APPLICATIONS IN 56 MINUTES. RESULTS FOR: CONCURRENT RESTORE RESULTS FOR: APPLICATION CONSISTENT SNAPSHOTS RESULTS FOR: ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS FINDINGS: NETBACKUP REQUIRES LESS THAN 9 MINUTES TO BACK UP 1,000 VMS USING ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS. VEEAM REQUIRES TWICE THE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE SAME ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOT. 0 0 : 0 8 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 5 2 4 9 18 5 6 8 100 VMs 200 VMs 500 VMs 1,000 VMs Snapshots can be used to create quicker Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and more aggressive Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). When testing crash consistent backups, NetBackup’s snapshot technology backed up 1,000 virtual machines in less than 9 minutes while Veeam required over 18 minutes.

NetBackup saves you hours, especially in large-scale environments. As the environment scaled from 100 to 200, 400 and then 1,000 virtual machines, there were dramatic increases in the time required by Veeam to perform the backups.
