Rising Veritas Renewal Bills

Veritas renewal costs keep climbing, but you need time to migrate without paying for a full year of support you won’t use.

Veritas NetBackup → Cohesity DataProtect migration — your questions answered

What about our NetBackup database scripts and custom policies?+

Yes. We run the NetBackup-specific scripts and convert them into Cohesity policies. No reverse-engineering needed.

We have complex tape vaulting logic—can that move?+

We inventory your tape jobs and rebuild them in Cohesity’s cloud-tier or local tape-out workflows. Nothing lost.

What about legacy NDMP backups for our physical NAS?+

Yes. We handle NDMP configurations for physical NAS filers, mapping them to Cohesity’s view-based or NAS integration.

What happens if our Veritas support contract expires mid-migration?+

If Veritas renewal lapses mid-move, our third-party support covers most operational issues on NetBackup (not patches). You keep your timeline.
