Snapshots can be used to create quicker Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and more aggressive Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). In less than 9 minutes NetBackup’s snapshot technology backed up 1,000 Virtual Machines. NetBackup is a leader in snapshot technology, while EMC does not support array-based snapshot integration for VMware workloads.

FINDINGS:NETBACKUP REQUIRES LESS THAN 9 MINUTES TO BACK UP 1,000 VMS USING ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS.

EMC DOES NOT SUPPORT ARRAY-BASED SNAPSHOTS.

FINDINGS:NETBACKUP IS 3X FASTER THAN EMCWHEN BACKING UP 1,000 VMS.

Lower times are better when it comes to backup windows. NetBackup saves time, especially in large scale environments. As the environment scaled from 100 to 200, 400 and then 1,000 virtual machines, there were dramatic increases in the time required by EMC to perform the backups.
