Optimized for government IT environments, this Veritas Backup Exec Simple Add On with Essential Support delivers a robust, on-premise backup and recovery solution for a single instance over a full 3-year term. Through the Veritas Government Licensing Program (GLP), agencies gain access to the complete feature set, streamlined procurement, and predictable licensing that aligns with public sector needs. This license provides comprehensive data protection, reliable backup and recovery, and peace of mind for mission-critical workloads, all while keeping deployment on your own hardware and network.

• 3-year on-premise subscription license for one instance, purpose-built for government deployments under the Veritas Government Licensing Program (GLP). This structure supports long-term budgeting, reduces renewal complexity, and simplifies procurement within public sector environments.
• Full feature access unlocked upon installation. With this add-on, you can leverage the core Backup Exec capabilities—protect data across diverse storage targets, perform granular restores, and manage backup policies—without needing multiple separate licenses. The result is a unified, centralized backup solution that minimizes administration and accelerates recovery when time matters most.
• Essential Support included for the license term. Gain access to Veritas technical assistance, guidance on best practices, and timely updates to keep your backup environment stable, secure, and compliant. This support package is designed to help government IT teams maintain uptime and respond quickly to incidents or changes in policy.
• Government pricing and GLP compliance. The offering is tailored for public sector procurement, delivering predictable costs and procurement terms that align with government buying processes. This ensures agencies can plan budgets with confidence while meeting policy and regulatory requirements.
• Single-instance, on-premise deployment for concentrated control. By licensing one PC or server, agencies can centralize data protection for critical systems, streamline disaster recovery planning, and maintain control over storage, retention, and restoration timelines within their own infrastructure.
