Depends on where in the organization. In the legacy datacenters, "NetBackup". For those who've moved to the cloud - where the NetBackup domain doesn't reach and where architecting the connectivity to allow a media server to effectively operate there, it's "self-service".

Early on, we provided a set of simple reference scripts to show the cloud-users, "here's how you can use cron/scheduled tasks to leverage the CSP's native capabilities" (i.e., "volume snapshots" to provide at least crash-consistent recovery options). But, mostly, we've been encouraging those same users to leverage CSP options that include baked-in data-backup options.
