Rubrik vs Veritas NetBackup
March 10, 2025 | Author: Michael Stromann
16★
Rubrik's approach to data protection helps enterprises achieve Multi-Cloud Data Control. Securely recover, mobilize, and govern data everywhere. Stop managing backups. Use one policy-based solution for on-prem, at the edge, or in the cloud.

NetBackup is the only enterprise data management solution that combines automation, artificial intelligence, and elastic architecture to improve agility and data security, on-premises and across any cloud. With 100 exabytes of information currently under management, no other solution comes close.
Rubrik and Veritas NetBackup are both rather clever at making sure your precious, utterly indispensable and occasionally completely pointless data doesn't vanish into the void. They back things up, restore them when needed and generally act as digital safety nets for enterprises that don’t trust their employees to not accidentally delete everything. They both whisper sweet nothings to the cloud, squeeze data down to less unwieldy sizes and promise to outsmart the ever-looming threat of ransomware (which, much like Vogons, never seems to actually go away).
Rubrik, being the newer and shinier of the two, was born in 2014 in the USA and behaves like it knows better. It wraps itself in the righteous armor of zero-trust security, throws around words like “API-first” to impress DevOps types and generally tries to sound like it was invented on a MacBook in a San Francisco loft. It’s got a thing called Polaris, which isn’t a spaceship but rather a SaaS-based data governance tool and it prefers the company of cloud-native enterprises that scoff at the idea of on-premises anything.
Veritas NetBackup, on the other hand, is the grizzled veteran of the backup world, dating back to 1997 when dinosaurs still roamed IT departments. Also American, but with a distinctly more corporate air, it caters to the sort of enterprises that still have mainframes lurking in dark corners and don’t take kindly to sudden, trendy reinventions. It enforces rigorous backup policies, supports ancient and modern tech alike and even offers physical backup appliances for those who believe in hardware you can trip over. Unlike Rubrik, it doesn’t care much for looking cool—just for making sure everything is still there when you return from lunch.
