Veritas Technologies announced enhancements to Veritas Backup Exec, including malware detection capabilities, role-based access control, and additional optimisations for fast backup and recovery of business-critical data.
“Having a reliable backup system is the only way through which businesses can guarantee themselves the ability to recover, should a malicious actor find their way in. With Veritas Backup Exec, SMBs can protect critical data through a simple-to-use, all-in-one solution, no matter where it’s stored – be it in SaaS or specialised applications and workloads, on-premises or in the cloud,” Gary Sievers, vice president, APJ Channel Sales and Alliances at Veritas, said.
New features
Veritas Backup Exec is equipped with malware detection that serves as an additional line of defense against viruses within the data environment.
It also features role-based security that limits access to data based on a user’s specific role. Malicious players can only corrupt the small volume of data associated with a specific user’s account in the event of account compromise.
The solution also claims to have faster backup and recovery by optimizing protection performance with forever incremental backup of VMware and Hyper-V. Parallel backup of multiple virtual disks and the included ability to recover virtual machines instantly facilitates the protection of virtual machines.
