Break the Cycle of Legacy Backup

Backup Exec's recent ownership transition is the perfect catalyst to re-evaluate your data security. Eliminate the hidden hardware costs, expensive licensing and manual labor of babysitting servers that plague legacy architectures. Druva turns a renewal decision into a strategic upgrade.

A new operator doesn't fix old architecture. While Backup Exec's management changes, the daily headaches of managing on-premises hardware, applying Windows Server updates and worrying about ransomware remain exactly the same. Here is how Druva compares:

Backup Exec Druva Resilience Cloud
Ownership uncertainty: Five owners and operators, each with new priorities and new questions about the roadmap. Purpose-built stability: One focus on data security, delivered as continuously updated SaaS.
Same complex infrastructure: Windows servers, OS patching, media servers and storage maintenance. Zero-touch SaaS: No servers to manage, no software to patch. It just works.
Ransomware risk: On-premises backups are sitting ducks for local encryption. True air gap: Data is isolated and immutable in the cloud, out of reach from attackers.
Hidden costs: Power, cooling, rack space, hardware refreshes and unpredictable renewals. Predictable ROI: Scale on demand with up to 40% lower TCO and zero hardware costs.
Manual labor: Hours spent troubleshooting failed jobs and managing tapes. Autopilot operations: Set your policies and let Druva handle the rest.
Built for yesterday's attacks: Designed to restore servers and files, not to trace how an attacker moved through your identities. Identity Resilience: Protect Entra ID, Active Directory and Okta, see the blast radius and recover to a clean, pre-attack state.
Not built for AI era: Built before copilots and agents became part of daily work. AI Resilience: Back up and govern prompts, conversations, files and code across Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude.
