Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration
Course Overview
Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration is a five-day course for professionals who deploy, configure, maintain and manage a Backup Exec environment for the applications an organisation depends on. Application and platform protection forms a large part of the course. Learners deploy remote agents and protect Microsoft Exchange for email, SQL Server for databases, SharePoint for collaboration, and Active Directory for identities. They also protect Microsoft 365 data in the cloud and Oracle databases. Virtual machine modules cover protection, instant recovery and VM conversion, and additional modules cover Linux and UNIX systems.
The rest of the course supports this work. Learners study Backup Exec architecture and licensing, install the software, and configure disk, cloud, network (NDMP), and tape storage, with data lifecycle management controlling retention. They create backup jobs, restore data, protect the database encryption key, and recover servers with Simplified Disaster Recovery. Advanced topics include deduplication, the Central Admin Server, upgrades, and security features for ransomware resilience and GDPR.
Most modules include hands-on exercises, so learners protect and restore each type of workload themselves. For banks, telecom operators and digital service providers, the benefit is continuity. Email, customer databases and collaboration systems can be restored quickly and accurately when something goes wrong.
Course Structure and Key Details
The Veritas Backup Exec 22: Administration course runs over five days and contains roughly 30 modules in five groups. The first group, fundamentals and setup, covers Backup Exec architecture, licensing, installation, and the administration console. The second group, storage, covers disk, cloud, network (NDMP), and tape devices, plus data lifecycle management.
The third group, core operations, covers backup jobs, server and job management, restore, the database encryption key, and Simplified Disaster Recovery. The fourth group, advanced features, covers upgrading to Backup Exec 22, the Central Admin Server, deduplication, and security and compliance for GDPR and ransomware resilience. The fifth group, application and platform protection, covers remote agents, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, virtual machines with instant recovery and VM conversion, Linux and UNIX, and Oracle.
Hands-on exercises run through most modules, from installing Backup Exec and creating a basic backup job to configuring storage and deduplication, running restores and protecting individual applications.
Learners need 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. No exam or certification is linked to the course. Our Dar es Salaam team can confirm the delivery format and dates for your group.

The country’s digital economy relies heavily on mobile money, digital banking, telecom services and growing online businesses, all of which depend on email, databases and customer records that must never be lost. The Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 requires organisations to safeguard the personal data they hold. The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) oversees the communications sector and hosts the national CERT, TZ-CERT. Backup Exec 22 training in Tanzania helps administrators in Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma protect Microsoft 365, SQL Server, Exchange and virtual machines, and restore them quickly after failures or ransomware. Banks, telecom operators, fintech providers, and mid-sized businesses running Microsoft environments gain the most.
FAQs
Can Backup Exec back up Microsoft 365?
Yes, Backup Exec can protect Microsoft 365 data, and the course includes a dedicated module on it. Many organisations assume Microsoft 365 data is automatically safe, but accidental deletion, retention gaps, and ransomware can still cause loss. Backing it up with Backup Exec gives organisations an independent copy they control and can restore when needed.
How do I back up SQL Server with Backup Exec?
Backup Exec uses an agent to create application-aware backups of SQL Server databases, so they can be restored consistently and, where needed, to a specific point. Administrators select the databases, choose the backup type and schedule, and set retention. The course covers SQL Server protection in its application modules, with hands-on exercises.
Is Backup Exec 22 training in Dar es Salaam suitable for database administrators?
Yes, database administrators benefit from the course, particularly the modules on SQL Server and Oracle. They learn how Backup Exec protects databases, how to restore them, and how backup jobs fit with their own maintenance tasks. Understanding Backup Exec also helps them work more closely with infrastructure and backup teams.
What is a Backup Exec remote agent?
A remote agent is software installed on a protected server so that Backup Exec can back it up efficiently and, for applications, consistently. Agents support protection for Windows, Linux, and UNIX systems and applications such as Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, and Oracle. The course covers how to deploy and manage remote agents across an environment.
Which prerequisites apply to the Backup Exec 22 course?
Learners need 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 strengthen their server skills first can take our Windows Server administration course.
Can I restore a single email or file instead of a whole server?
Yes, Backup Exec supports granular restores, so administrators can recover individual items such as files, folders, or application data instead of restoring an entire server. That saves time when a user deletes something by mistake. The course covers restore options for different workloads, from single items to full server recovery with Simplified Disaster Recovery.
Is there a certification exam for Backup Exec 22 Administration?
No exam or certification is linked to this course in the published Veritas and training partner information. The course is focused on hands-on administration and recovery skills. Our team can advise on any separate vendor certification options if you need a formal credential.
Why does protecting applications matter as much as protecting servers?
Applications such as email, databases and collaboration tools hold the information organisations rely on, and they need consistent, application-aware backups to restore correctly. A simple file copy of a running database may not be usable. The course teaches how Backup Exec agents protect applications properly, so restores return working systems rather than unusable files.
