Sensaka Backup · NetBackup Restore Automation

    Turn complex Veritas NetBackup restores into guided, repeatable workflows

    Sensaka Backup helps enterprises automate recovery from Veritas NetBackup. Instead of relying on manual restore steps, specialist knowledge, and disconnected recovery records, Sensaka Backup gives teams a visual recovery management layer for database, VMware, reporting, validation, and data copy workflows.

    For organizations already running NetBackup, this means faster recovery execution, fewer manual mistakes, better visibility, and stronger confidence that protected data can actually be restored when needed.

    The Problem

    Why NetBackup restore automation matters

    NetBackup is widely used in enterprise environments, but restore operations can still be difficult to execute at scale. Many recovery processes depend on senior backup administrators. Steps are often manual. Recovery jobs can be hard to schedule, repeat, audit, and validate. When multiple databases or virtual machines need to be restored, the operational burden increases quickly.

    NBU recovery often lacks visual operation, recovery strategy automation, recovery reporting, and advanced recovery functions such as continuous recovery and data copy management. Sensaka Backup is designed to solve this recovery gap.

    The Solution

    What Sensaka Backup does

    Sensaka Backup adds an automation and orchestration layer on top of Veritas NetBackup. It helps teams extract backup data from NetBackup, run visual and automated restore workflows, and prepare virtual data copies for fast access when needed — through direct extraction of backup data, graphical automated recovery, and on demand virtual copy access within minutes.

    Backup teams can define recovery tasks.
    Database teams can recover critical systems with less dependence on manual procedures.
    Infrastructure teams can restore VMware workloads with clearer workflow visibility.
    Management teams can see recovery records and reports instead of relying only on verbal status updates.
    Key Capabilities

    From selection to execution to validation

    Visual restore workflows

    Sensaka Backup makes NetBackup recovery easier to operate through guided visual workflows. This reduces the learning curve for teams that do not work inside NetBackup every day. Instead of depending only on command line steps or specialist procedures, recovery teams can follow a clearer workflow from selection to execution to validation.

    Automated recovery orchestration

    Sensaka Backup centralizes restore management, scheduling, and task control. The core server module is responsible for recovery management and scheduling, while dedicated restore modules support database and VMware recovery. This is useful for enterprises that need to run recovery tasks repeatedly, not only during emergencies.

    Database restore automation

    Sensaka Backup supports automated recovery workflows for major enterprise databases, including Oracle, DB2, MySQL, and SQL Server. This makes it especially useful for database recovery testing, application migration preparation, disaster recovery drills, and operational restore requests.

    VMware restore automation

    Sensaka Backup supports VMware restore automation and copy management. For infrastructure teams, this helps simplify virtual machine recovery from NetBackup and makes recovery operations easier to repeat and manage.

    Scheduled recovery validation

    A backup is not enough. Teams need proof that recovery works. Sensaka Backup helps organizations define recovery strategies, schedule recovery tasks, validate restored data, and generate evidence that critical systems can be recovered, through scheduled and periodic recovery tasks.

    Recovery reporting and audit records

    Sensaka Backup records restore jobs, CDM jobs, and CDR jobs for audit purposes. This helps teams answer who restored what, when the restore was performed, whether recovery was successful, how much data was recovered, and whether recovery readiness can be proven for audit or compliance.

    Data copy access

    Sensaka Backup supports copy data management based on backup data. It can generate multiple levels of data copies, manage copy lifecycle, and provide graphical fast access to point in time copy data. This is useful when teams need recovered data for testing, development, reporting, validation, or migration preparation.

    Who It's For

    Who this is for

    Sensaka Backup is a strong fit for teams that already use Veritas NetBackup and want to simplify recovery without immediately replacing their existing backup environment. It is especially relevant for:

    Enterprise backup teams
    Database administrators
    VMware infrastructure teams
    Disaster recovery teams
    IT operations teams
    Compliance and audit teams
    Data center migration teams
    Limited senior NetBackup expertise
