Description
Discover enterprise-grade data protection with the Veritas NetBackup Flex 5260 NAS Storage System. This turnkey, cyber-resilient appliance is purpose-built to secure department-level workloads with unmatched reliability and operational simplicity. Anchored by the trusted NetBackup backup engine, the 5260 combines high-performance NAS storage, intelligent automation, and security-first design into a scalable on-premises solution. It delivers immutable backups, air-gapped vaults, and end-to-end integrity checks to defend against ransomware, malware, and accidental data loss while preserving efficient backup windows and streamlined administration. This system is the ideal choice for organizations seeking to reduce data center costs, improve protection coverage across file shares, virtualized environments, and application data, and align data protection with business continuity goals.
- Turnkey, policy-driven protection: A ready-to-deploy system that pairs hardware and NetBackup software in a single package. It enables centralized, automated protection policies, simplifies administration, and accelerates mean time to protection (MTP) so IT teams can focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual backup tasks.
- Cyber-resilient architecture for complete protection: Built to withstand modern threats with immutable backups, air-gapped vaults, and end-to-end integrity checks. Rapid detection of tampered data, automatic backup verification, and fast restores minimize downtime and data loss in complex attack scenarios.
- Scalable NAS storage for department workloads: Designed to grow with your organization, supporting expanding file, block, and application data stores while maintaining strong performance and predictable backup windows. Ideal for file shares, virtualized environments, and application data with room to expand as needs evolve.
- Ransomware defense and recovery acceleration: Integrated safeguards provide rapid detection of tampered data, automated verification of backups, and expedited recovery paths to minimize disruption during incidents.
- Cost efficiency and simplified operations: Reduces data center footprint, lowers total cost of ownership, and minimizes administrative overhead through unified dashboards, automated reporting, and streamlined lifecycle management.

How to install Veritas NetBackup Flex 5260 NAS Storage System
Installing the NetBackup Flex 5260 is streamlined to reduce deployment time and ensure consistent protection across your environment. Begin by locating the appliance in a suitable data-center area with adequate airflow and cooling, and ensure the rack space is prepared for a rack-mount deployment. Connect power and attach the network interfaces to your organization’s high-speed fabric, prioritizing the 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity indicated in the product specifications for robust backup throughput. Power up the unit and access the management console through the initial setup wizard, which guides you through essential configuration steps such as IP addressing, DNS settings, and secure administrator access. Integrate the appliance with your existing NetBackup environment or cloud tier as directed by your policy architecture, then configure backup policies to cover file shares, virtualized workloads, and application data. Establish retention windows, verification schedules, and restore test procedures to validate recoverability. Finally, run a pilot backup cycle and perform a restoration drill to confirm that data can be recovered quickly and accurately in the event of data loss or ransomware incident. Ongoing maintenance includes monitoring, automated reporting, and lifecycle management to keep firmware, NetBackup software, and security features up to date while continuing to optimize storage utilization and protection coverage.
