Here are 4 reasons to choose Veeam® over Veritas Backup Exec.

Veritas Backup Exec limitations

Legacy features
Lacking key features like backup from storage snapshots, Backup Exec’s feature set does not take advantage of modern platforms.

Lacks Scale
Backup Exec’s performance decreases as data grows, causing management headaches and resulting in missed SLAs.
