What's up my fruit loving friends...

I haven't talked any NetBackup out here, but I figure that there may be a few lurkers out there...

With all kinds of good stuff going on in the world of NetBackup, we wanted to make sure that we get together with anyone and everyone that has any questions. With that in mind, the brains behind all that is NetBackup are gathering for their very first AMA. We have assembled folks from around the world to converge on Reddit at 1.00 pm EDT; Friday, 13 March. We will be there for 2 hours to answer any and all questions pertaining to NetBackup (insert legalese disclaimer about what we are allowed to talk about here).

The team will include members of the product planning, development, support, QA & senior leadership teams. We'll talk, we'll laugh, some might hoot and or holler, but in the end… we will answer your questions. See you then

Let's DO this!

Nice, can you share the paper?

I think you mean ***papyrus ***not paper

It's good to be here...

I'm new AND a vendor...so have a heart and don't go all reddit on me.

The offer is extended...anything you have going on w/r/t Symantec...questions, gripes, support needs, suggestions...put me to work

Hey gang...

We have a big crew of developers, Product Mgrs and other sundry technical folk who are in the way of knowing about Backup Exec coming together to do an AMaA (Ask Me almost Anything) at 1.00 EDT today.

The link won't be available until we start, but it will be in the r/IAmA subreddit

You got questions? We've got the folks who can answer.

Come see us at 1.00

¡VIVA!

I have had one issue that I haven't contacted Tech Support about yet... Virtual Box will not run with Cylance installed.

Hey Brian... if you want to drop me a DM, I can help

@Jstear said in Cylance Questions:

You can get a demo (POC), but you have to go through a third party, not Cyclance themselves.

Depends on the size of your environment. Yes, for SMB, we do work through our vetted, certified partners.

• <100 seats, we refer you to a Cylance certified MSSP for POC & management of the environment
• 100-499, we refer you to a Cylance certified MSP for POC
• 500+ Cylance manages the POC

BOOM fixed it!

Has Symantec even moved to offering a cloud solution or is SEP still all local only? I known Verizon uses SEP and Cisco systems for phone. I guess they just like wasting money...

We've actually been in the cloud for a couple of years. More info is here While we did recently EOL BackupExec.cloud, SEP & Enterprise Vault are still very strong in the cloud. Happy to get you connected with folks from that side if you have questions.

**Date/Time: **1.00 EDT Friday, 17 October

Awhile back, we rounded up folks from the Backup Exec development team and did a series of AMAs

• Backup Exec 2012
• Virtualization
• Backup Exec 3600 Appliance
• Service Packs for BE 2010 & 2012

Well, it’s been awhile, but we are back to carry on that weird and slightly awkward tradition. Friday, 17 October from 1.00-3.00 EDT, we are gathering members of the various teams who made Backup Exec 2014

• Product Management
• Engineering
• Quality Assurance
• Technical Marketing
• Technical Support

As you might have noted this is an AMAA, Ask Me ALMOST Anything. This is the Backup Exec team and while we know to expect some non-Engineering and non-Backup Exec specific questions, if it’s beyond our scope we may have to simply say we don’t know or wave our hands and say “this isn’t the question you meant to ask”.

In the mean time, if you have questions or need anything, you can find more information at

• www.backupexec.com
• Symantec Connect Forum
• @BackupExec
• Spiceworks Symantec Vendor Page

You got questions? I'm bringing the folks with the answers. Come and talk with us. See you tomorrow.

@Minion-Queen When the Queen is alerted....things get REAL

@StrongBad you had me at StrongBad

@thanksaj thank you @scottalanmiller

ALWAYS!

Figure there's gotta be some hardcore enterprise backeruppers out here... Let's get you introduced to the OTHER backup family...

@Jstear said in Cylance Questions:

I've heard that Cylance sold their algorithm to Webroot. Whether that is true or not, I'm not sure.

Absolutely not. I can say with near total certainty that we will not be selling the algo to any competitor.
