SaaS workloads, including auto-discovery of new users,
mailboxes, and folders without any administrator action. Only data changed since the last backup is copied in each new backup,
optimizing both cloud bandwidth savings and reducing backup windows.
NetBackup SaaS Protection offers flexible restore options, including the original or alternate locations, in bulk, by object group, a single
file, or a Teams chat. With NetBackup SaaS Protection you have greater agility, resiliency, and cloud portability.
Integrated NetBackup IT Analytics Foundation
The newly integrated NetBackup IT
Analytics Foundation capabilities
bring together cloud and information
with insights on the data, providing
intelligence across hybrid and multi-
cloud environments. NetBackup
uses this information to optimize
performance and mitigate risk. By
pinpointing operational inefficiencies,
identifying threshold-based backup
inconsistencies, and compiling a
single-source report of information,

changes so you can take action.
(see Figure 2).
Using these analytics, overall cloud costs are reduced through right-sizing and optimizing cloud infrastructure. Bringing together
insights from multiple cloud service providers helps identify the exact costs and enables consolidation of public cloud expenditures for
further analysis and action.
Kubernetes Multi-Cloud, Multi-Distribution Recovery
A key component of the NetBackup Kubernetes protection solution design is the ability to protect any Kubernetes distribution
regardless of deployment—on-premises or in the cloud.
Building on the support provided in version 9.1, NetBackup 10 brings even more enhancements to comprehensive Kubernetes data
protection and management. Kubernetes backups can now be directed to any storage target available in the NetBackup web UI. And
when it comes to the cloud, Kubernetes data protection operations are effectively managed with NetBackup’s Elastic Cloud Auto-
Scaling, dynamically provisioning, and removing cloud instances as needed, maximizing cost and efficiency. Instant rollback from
snapshots, application-consistent Kubernetes cluster backup, and support for NetBackup deduplication data efficiency are all built in.
These Kubernetes capabilities are also fully integrated with all NetBackup ransomware resiliency functionality, ensuring data is
always recoverable.
NetBackup 10 Kubernetes solutions feature simplified installation, configuration, and management. Intelligent policies now dynamically
discover all namespaces and their labels on the Kubernetes cluster and add namespaces to the protection plan based on customer-
defined parameters. This process ensures automatic protection, reduces the risk of data loss, and provides users much greater control
in defining how their applications are protected, with the ability to easily include and exclude specific resources.
Over 50 percent of customers running Kubernetes run more than one distribution. One of the biggest drivers of Kubernetes is its
portability—the ability to move between on-premises and different clouds. NetBackup 10 gives you the freedom to run as many
distributions of Kubernetes as needed, without requiring different backup products. NetBackup 10 unifies backup for all Kubernetes
environments, either on-premises and in the cloud. It also allows for multi-cloud, cross-distribution restores, significantly increasing
disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. This data mobility provides Kubernetes users with the most efficient and comprehensive choices for
backup and restore plus the freedom to choose and change their Kubernetes environments as necessary.
Subscription Licensing Model
NetBackup 10 introduces a subscription licensing model. This single subscription simplifies licensing with one recurring and
predictable inclusive cost. This model makes operational budgeting easier and provides visibility and control over licenses and renewals.
Subscription licensing also allows you to optimize your strategy and capacities to meet both technical and budget requirements, scaling
up or down as needs change. With subscription licensing, you can run NetBackup anywhere—on-premises, hosted, or in the cloud.
Subscription licensing ensures you have ongoing access to continued innovation, technical support, and services. Protection for all
workloads—traditional, lift-and-shift, or cloud-native—is included. NetBackup IT Analytics Foundation provides visibility and insight,
allowing you more control over your environment. Customers have made it clear that subscription licensing is a necessary component
to enable greater control of their enterprise data management costs and budgeting while making it easier to adopt modern, multi-cloud
data management.
Cloud Scale Technology
Ninety percent of enterprises expect cloud usage to exceed their prior plans. As cloud adoption increases, however, so do cloud
expenses. Enterprises are often surprised by cloud costs. Fighting wasteful spending on cloud resources and optimizing cloud costs are
top priorities. NetBackup 10 includes cloud scale technology, which provides efficient data management and use of resources, helping
executives meet their priority of efficient cloud spending.
NetBackup 10’s cloud scale technology delivers enhanced protection and simplified operations across expanded workloads, including
Kubernetes and SaaS-based applications. It provides secure, resilient, automated, and orchestrated delivery of event-driven workload
protection, resulting in a more cost-effective, secure, and sustainable cloud with:
• Elastic Backup and Recovery Services for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure
• Enhanced Elastic Cloud Autoscaling for AWS and Azure
• NetBackup Elastic Cloud Dedupe Services
Agentless backup from snapshots provides efficient, cloud-optimized, application-consistent, multi-cloud data protection. NetBackup’s
Intelligent Cloud Policies automatically discover workloads and direct cloud-based snapshot protection in Azure and AWS.
Data optimization at the source and directly storing data in the most cost-effective cloud tier provide cost-effective, long-term retention
in the cloud.
NetBackup 10’s multi-tier replication, the ability restores to anywhere—on-premises or in the cloud—and the application of NetBackup’s
full cyber-resiliency capabilities ensure the data is always available and recoverable.
New Elastic Backup and Recovery Services for AWS and Azure
NetBackup 10’s new backup from snapshot capability allows organizations running their workloads on AWS and Azure to lower their
storage costs by either moving their snapshot data to lower-cost storage tiers in the cloud, to Veritas’s own storage-as-a-service
offering (NetBackup Recovery Vault), or to their own storage on-premises. And by using the Intelligent Cloud Policy Engine, this entire
process can be automated based on criteria that is pre-defined by the backup administrator.
New Enhancements to Elastic Cloud Autoscaling for AWS and Azure
As more workloads are moved to the cloud, 70 percent of companies are concerned with their cloud spend. NetBackup 10 provides
significant capabilities to help reduce cloud costs by only using cloud compute resources when required. Event-driven, Elastic Cloud
Autoscaling for Azure and AWS automatically deploys and removes cloud instances as needed, providing the optimum cloud resources
required by the business, at the right time. With Elastic Cloud Autoscaling for AWS and Azure, cloud compute resources are only in use
as they are needed.
New NetBackup Elastic Cloud Dedupe Services
In addition to optimized, application-consistent backups from snapshots in multi-cloud environments, NetBackup 10 Elastic Cloud
Deduplication Services reduce the overall cost of long-term cloud data retention by 95percent. The Cloud Dedupe Engine in NetBackup
10 is a simple, containerized deployment that eliminates the need for static instances, lowering the cost of cloud compute instances
while processing more data.
Cyber-Resiliency
A majority of business leaders identify ransomware as their primary concern. Ransomware continues to grow—the rising number of
attacks, the costs of ransoms paid, and the cost of downtime from attacks are all increasing exponentially. Nothing threatens the data
and livelihood of business around the world more than ransomware. Securing your environment and your data as well as ensuring you
can recover are key requirements of any enterprise data protection solution. NetBackup follows three steps to deliver cyber-resiliency
(see Figure 3):.
1. Protect—Safeguarding data integrity with system hardening and immutability
2. Detect—Monitoring and reporting on system activities to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities
3. Recover—Automating and orchestrating complete cross-system restoration

NetBackup 10 reduces risks, eliminates uncertainty, and helps maintain control of your environment. NetBackup 10 enhancements for
security, ransomware, and resiliency include:
• AI-driven anomaly detection, automated malware scanning, and clean recovery
• Enhancements to multi-cloud, ransomware-resilient, immutable data
AI-Driven Anomaly Detection and Automated Malware Scanning
NetBackup 10 augments its artificial intelligence‒driven anomaly detection capabilities with automated malware scanning. During
backup operations, backups are checked for anomalies in near-real time. If anomalies are suspected, malware scanning is automatically
initiated to determine if backups contain malware.
New malware scanning is also used to identify the “last-known-good” before restoring. The ability to identify and recover the most
recent malware-free backup is crucial for fast recovery of critical business operations. When recovering, it is also imperative to ensure
any infected files are not included in the restoration. The ability to exclude these files, preventing the possibility of reinfection, enables
the most current backups to be recovered, getting business back to the closest point prior to the attack (see Figure 4).

A comprehensive plan and tools like those in NetBackup 10 combined with immutable storage provided by the NetBackup Appliances
family and NetBackup Object Lock for public clouds along with ransomware recovery rehearsals are all necessary components to
provide cyber-resiliency and peace of mind about the security of your enterprise data.
New Enhancements to Multi-Cloud Cyber-Resiliency
NetBackup 10 expands cyber-resilient, multi-cloud data protection policies to AWS, Azure, and Seagate Lyve Cloud, providing more
options for cloud-based, ransomware-resilient data retention.
Today, protecting SaaS application data from malware is a critical priority for all businesses. NetBackup 10’s integrated SaaS
protection not only provides cyber-resilient backups in the cloud, but it also now offers an air-gapped, immutable copy of SaaS
application data on-premises. Stored in the NetBackup Access LTR Appliance, an on-premises, air-gapped copy of data from
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and many other SaaS applications provides another layer of ransomware resiliency, enables fast
restoration, and helps meet critical governance compliance requirements that were previously unobtainable.
