Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration
Course Overview
Backup Exec 22 training changes that. Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration is a five-day course that gives IT professionals a complete, practical foundation in deploying and managing a Backup Exec environment.
The course starts with how Backup Exec is built: its architecture, licensing, and components. Learners install the software and become comfortable with the administration console. They then learn where backups are stored, configuring disk, cloud, network (NDMP), and tape storage. Data lifecycle management controls how long backups are kept and when space is reclaimed.
With those foundations in place, the course moves into daily work: creating and scheduling backup jobs, managing servers and jobs, and restoring data. It also covers the tasks that matter most in an emergency. Learners protect the database encryption key and recover a failed server with Simplified Disaster Recovery. Later modules introduce upgrades, centralised management, deduplication, and security features for ransomware resilience and GDPR.
The final modules show how to protect the systems organisations depend on. These include Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory and Microsoft 365, as well as Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines, Linux and UNIX systems, and Oracle. Most modules include hands-on exercises. The lasting benefit is confidence. Administrators leave knowing how their backup environment works and how to recover from the failures they are most likely to face.
Course Structure and Key Details
Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration is a five-day course made up of roughly 30 modules. They are arranged to take learners from first principles to protecting complex applications.
The first modules explain the basics: Backup Exec architecture, licensing, installation, and the administration console. Storage follows, covering disk, cloud, network (NDMP) and tape devices, along with data lifecycle management for retention. The core operations modules then cover creating backup jobs, managing servers and jobs, restoring data, protecting the database encryption key, and recovering servers with Simplified Disaster Recovery.
The advanced modules introduce upgrading to Backup Exec 22, the Central Admin Server, deduplication, and security and compliance features for GDPR and ransomware resilience. The final modules cover protecting applications and platforms through remote agents. These include Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, virtual machines with instant recovery and VM conversion, Linux and UNIX systems, and Oracle.
Most modules include hands-on exercises, starting with installing Backup Exec and creating a basic backup job and building towards storage, deduplication, restore, and application protection tasks.
Before enrolling, learners need a basic working knowledge of administering and configuring Windows Server 2016 or later. Previous Backup Exec experience is not required. Familiarity with SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Hyper-V, VMware, Oracle, cloud technologies, or Microsoft 365 helps but is not essential.
No exam or certification is linked to the course. Our Addis Ababa team can confirm the delivery format and dates available.

FAQs
Is Backup Exec suitable for small and mid-sized businesses?
Yes, Backup Exec is widely used by small and mid-sized organisations and branch offices, particularly those running Windows-based environments. It protects physical servers, virtual machines, Microsoft applications, Microsoft 365 and cloud data from a single console. Its range of storage options lets organisations choose between disk, cloud and tape to suit their budget and retention needs.
What is data lifecycle management in Backup Exec?
Data lifecycle management controls how long backup sets are kept on disk-based storage and when that space can be reused. It helps administrators meet retention requirements without running out of storage. The course explains how data lifecycle management works and how to configure it alongside disk, cloud, and tape storage.
Is Backup Exec 22 training in Addis Ababa suitable for beginners to backup?
It is suitable for administrators who are new to Backup Exec, provided they already have basic Windows Server administration skills. Previous backup experience is not required because the course starts with Backup Exec architecture, installation, and the console. Learners who are new to Windows Server should build those skills before enrolling.
What background knowledge does the course expect?
The course expects a basic working knowledge of administering and configuring Windows Server 2016 or later. Familiarity with SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Hyper-V, VMware, Oracle, cloud technologies, and Microsoft 365 is helpful but not required. Those who want to learn more about virtual environments first can explore our virtualisation courses.
How is Backup Exec licensed?
The course includes a module on Backup Exec licensing, explaining how licences relate to the features, agents, and protected resources an organisation uses. Understanding licensing helps administrators plan deployments, avoid gaps in protection, and discuss requirements accurately with their vendor or reseller. Specific pricing is set by the vendor and its partners.
Does the Backup Exec 22 course include an exam?
No exam or certification is attached to this course in the published Veritas and training partner information. The course focuses on hands-on administration and recovery skills. If you need a formal vendor credential, ask our team about any current certification options before you enrol.
What practical skills will I gain?
Learners gain practical skills in installing Backup Exec, configuring storage, creating and monitoring backup jobs, restoring data, recovering servers with Simplified Disaster Recovery, configuring deduplication, and protecting Microsoft, Oracle, Linux, and virtual workloads. Because most modules include exercises, learners practise these tasks rather than only learning about them.
How does Backup Exec 22 training help my IT career?
Backup and recovery skills are valued in almost every IT role, because every organisation needs to protect its data. The course can help administrators take responsibility for their organisation’s backup environment or move towards infrastructure and data protection roles. Career outcomes depend on experience and employer needs, so no course can guarantee a particular job.
