Your NetBackup to Veeam migration, fixed and delivered by senior engineers
We map your physical and virtual workloads from Veritas NetBackup to Veeam Backup & Replication in a fixed-scope project. Senior engineers handle BMR, UNIX clients, and legacy tape operations, so you transition without
The lowest-cost way off Veritas NetBackup: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support Veritas NetBackup → Veeam Backup & Replication after migration
- ✓Fixed scope, no cost overruns
- ✓Senior platform engineers lead your migration
- ✓Active third-party maintenance during transition
- ✓Avoid licensing double-spend on NetBackup
- ✓Transition on your timeline, not the vendor’s
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support while you plan
BMR Dependencies
Bare Metal Restore dependencies lock you into NetBackup. We test every physical server’s recovery in Veeam before cutting over.
Physical UNIX Servers
Physical UNIX clients (Solaris, AIX, HP-UX) backed up by NetBackup – Veeam agents support them, and we map each one in the assessment.
Legacy Tape Operations
Legacy tape operations integrated with NetBackup. We migrate your tape policies and verify compatibility with Veeam’s tape-out capabilities.
Veritas NetBackup → Veeam Backup & Replication migration — your questions answered
What happens to our NetBackup support during the migration?+
We maintain your NetBackup environment with third-party support for most operational issues during the migration. While your vendor contract is active, you keep full vendor support. If the renewal lapses, our support covers Backup, restore, and tape operations – though it does not include vendor patches. This lets you migrate at your own pace without a big-bang cutover.
Can Veeam replace our NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR) process?+
Bare Metal Restore is a known challenge in legacy NetBackup environments. Our senior engineers map each physical server’s BMR policies to Veeam’s bare-metal recovery agents before any migration begins. We test every restore in your staging environment to ensure you can recover physical workloads immediately post-move.
We have physical UNIX servers backed up by NetBackup. Can Veeam handle them?+
Yes. Veeam supports Backup and restore for most physical UNIX clients via its agent-based approach. We assess your specific UNIX servers – including legacy Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX – and create a per-server migration plan. If any client requires special handling, we document it and include it in the fixed scope.
How long does a NetBackup to Veeam migration take, and what does it cost?+
A typical project runs 2-4 months with two senior consultants and costs between $50,000 and $450,000 depending on workload count, complexity of existing tape operations, and number of physical clients. The scope is fixed upfront, so there are no surprises.
