Hi,

can anybody share their experience with NetWorker SnapImage those who have
been using. What level of expertise is required and how complicated it is to
deploy and havethe solution work!

Is it necessary for opting for EMC Professional Services ?

Regards
Shyam

If you try the suggestions recommended here and it doesn't solve your
problem, I suggest you seriously consider SnapImage. It has it's limitations
but restore performance from tape is not the issue it's been represented to
be here. And on a big slow disk with millions of files, there's no faster
way to get file-granular backups to tape.

SnapImage sorts all the file extents in the restore list  before it starts
so the restore is done in a single pass. Pieces get restored in tape order
and assembled on the fly. It's certainly no slower than restoring from a
normal multiplexed tape.

There are things about it that are a little more cumbersome though so you
should make sure you really have a need for it before you go that direction.
