Overview
As data grows, backup operations are becoming
increasingly complex and customers are finding great gains
in operational productivity from leveraging backup
reporting and service-level management disciplines. It is
very difficult to improve on a process that isn’t measurable,
so the first step is defining, monitoring, and analyzing data
on an ongoing basis. Compounded by data growth and
complexity are government regulations and/or corporate
governance projects that force backup administrators to
prove backup service level compliance. Another challenge is
that backup operations are typically run as a silo with little
or no alignment with the needs of the business or
understanding of how much backup and recovery opera-
tions cost the business.
As a key pillar of the Veritas NetBackup Platform, Veritas
Backup Reporter delivers advanced backup reporting for
business-level trending and analysis. By analyzing this data
over time, Veritas Backup Reporter allows customers to
enhance backup and recovery operations, verify backup
service level compliance, and align backup with the
business.
