Advantages of monitoring Backup Exec with N-able N-central

Monitoring Backup Exec is typically a source of frustration for many service providers. It means dedicating a technician's time to logging into the Backup Exec console every day to check the status of each job; an inefficient, repetitive, and expensive workflow.

N-able N-central’s Backup Exec service eliminates this frustration and makes better use of your technician’s time by automating how they monitor Backup Exec. When a Backup Exec job fails, the Backup Exec service notifies a technician and automatically provided with trending data that allows him to resolve the issue quickly.
