So, the doc suggests that you shouldn't use this for FILE devclasses.
Anybody know anything about why?

Similarly, it talks about that feature being good for VTL applications,
but is quiet about TSM virtual volumes.  Seems odd; the dedupe
optimization would seem to be relatively generic, if it's not just for
[product X].

I'm musing about sending my DB backups straight to a Data Domain, and
syncing that offsite.  It'd take away one level of indirection from my
DR planning.
