Hi Guys,

Brainstorming various possible config. with the following; Your inputs are
welcome please:

- NW 8.1 (WIN 2008)
- DD 890
- Daily incr (30TB)
- Weekly full (140TB)


Primary Plan:

The data will be backed up to DD (daily-incr; weekly-full) thru DDboost &
then to tape thru cloning DAILY.

Queries:

1. Is it an OK setup to go for wherein the data would go to DD thru DDboost
& then to tape thru cloning? Any implications? performance issues? recovery
issues?

2. Shall I go for DD as a VTL instead of DDboost & then do the cloning to
tape.

Please Note: Cloning has to be done on a daily basis for tape off-siting
purposes.
