Just found this. . .
@scottalanmiller care to explain the drunkeness of this post?
Look at the date. BackupExec was decent at one point. Tho I'd argue it was already past it's prime in 2014. I was around when it was put in place back in 2001, the original VERITAS Software did a good job with it back then.
Edit: Looks like it was 2015 when Symantec acquired VERITAS, most likely the point it started getting overly bloated and getting it's reputation for backing up but not restoring.

2015 is when they divested it. It was 2005 when it was acquired. I remember since I worked for Veritas when it happened.

Now that the emergency of our scheduled tasks not being backed up has been solved, I'm back to putting information in the wiki.

If they are never patching their Windows servers... I can only imagine how often those same people are patching their Linux servers...
