Limitations of Backup Exec NDMP granular selection and restore
Hi,
I'm looking to refute some competitor statements regarding Veritas Backup Exec.
Client is using BEX 2014 and considering either upgrading to BEX 15 or changing to another product.
The principal backup source is a large EMC NAS and the backup target is VTL on EMC Data Domain.
Currently they use NDMP level 0 dumps monthly and then level 1 daily (so effectively differentials) for 30 days
They have been told that BEX2014 can't do granular backup or restore of files and folders within a volume
And that the whole volume would need to be restored to an alternate location on the NAS to extract files.
This systems incorrect. Can you provide some collateral showing that BEX can do granular backups and restores from within NAS volumes?
Secondly there are concerns about the size of the volume (50TB) and number of files and folders (10 million files in 1 million folders)
Is there an upper limit on the size of a backup job and how does this effect performance?
Thanks in advance
