Veritas Backup Exec™ focuses on keeping data protection simple, secure and unified. You choose what to back up, where to store it and how to pay for it. Your data remains secure and available at every stage—whether backing up on-premises to the cloud, protecting workloads within the cloud, recovering from the cloud or just connecting to on-prem storage. Backup Exec is available for purchase in either perpetual or term subscription licensing, with the level of functionality you require— Bronze, Silver or Gold. Bronze edition offers basic coverage for simple environments. Silver edition offers the most-used features. Gold edition includes all features and functionality available in Backup Exec. Your purchase is based on the amount of front-end data or the number of instances you need to back up. Your chosen license-set is available in whatever quantities you require​
