FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             VERITAS SOFTWARE REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

          Pro forma earnings exceed 100% growth and revenue expands 70%

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. -- JULY 15, 1999 - VERITAS(R) Software Corporation
(Nasdaq: VRTS), the industry's leading enterprise-class application storage
management software provider, today announced record financial results for its
second quarter ended June 30, 1999. During the quarter, the Company successfully
completed its mergers with Seagate Software NSMG and TeleBackup Systems. On a
pro forma basis, which includes the operating results of Seagate Software NSMG
and TeleBackup Systems for the full quarter in both periods, the Company
achieved second quarter revenue of $155.7 million, an increase of 70% over last
year's second quarter revenue of $91.6 million. Pro forma net earnings,
excluding one-time charges and purchase accounting amortization, increased to
$29.2 million from $14.5 million for the prior year, a 102% increase. Diluted
pro forma earnings per share for the second quarter was $0.16, reflecting the
two-for-one stock split effected July 9, 1999, a 100% increase from $0.08 for
the same period last year. The Company's pro forma operating margin increased to
28% for the second quarter as compared with an operating margin of 24% for the
same quarter last year. All prior share and per share amounts have been restated
to reflect the two-for-one stock split.

The Company's as-reported revenue for the second quarter, including one month of
operating results for Seagate Software NSMG and TeleBackup Systems, was $114.6
million, compared with $48.1 million for the same period last year. For the
second quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $162.3 million, or $1.33 per
share, compared with net income of $8.5 million, or $0.08 per share on a diluted
basis, for the prior year. Included in the current period's net loss are
one-time charges of $103.1 million for the write-off of in-process research and
development and $11.0 million for merger and restructuring costs. Also included
was $76.6 million for purchase accounting amortization.

"With the successful completion of the Seagate Software NSMG and TeleBackup
Systems mergers VERITAS emerges as the largest and most potent force in the
storage management and

high availability software sectors," said Mark Leslie, chairman and CEO of
VERITAS Software. "I am pleased with the results for the second quarter which
were outstanding by any financial measure and, most importantly, the pro forma
results proved accretive right out-of-the-box."

On a pro forma basis for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Company had revenue of $290.5 million and $178.9 million, respectively, a 62%
year-over-year increase. Pro forma net earnings increased to $56.2 million from
$28.7 million in the prior period, a 96% increase. Pro forma diluted earnings
per share was $0.31, compared with $0.16 for the same period last year, a 94%
increase.
