We use Data Domain as our only D2D2T, over NFS, and then replicate it to our 
other Data Center.  We have been using them for quite a few years.  Feel free 
to ask specific questions or contact me directly.


Some bad experiences:

The DD200, the original, ran out of index space because our compression was 
too good. (Nice problem to have) :)

Currently our bottleneck during our backups are the GigE.  Yes, I could do VTL 
but I choose not to for reasons I care not to discuss in this thread.


Some good experiences:

Tape library failed in the middle of the night and I didn't have to get out of 
bed. :)

Pro active support.  They have opened more issues after looking at the nightly 
reports and "call homes" then I have.

Good support.  I have had every issues resolved before closing it and not with 
here's your bug issue number.
