I'm also interested in thoughts regarding VTL vs DSSU.

DSSU interests me mostly because I can write multiple jobs at once
without any regard for tape pool, mpx or not, retention, etc.....

...then it all gets sorted out to appropriate tapes during the destaging

VTL still presents itself to NBU as a tape, so each virtual tape drive
must be licensed with Veritas, in additional to the physical tape drives
(unless the VTL is run inline, though there could be issues there
regarding estimated compression, etc.)=20

Just a couple things off the top of my head.

Just wondering who is using DSSU, adn who is using VTL, adn why you made
that choice....ie.what were the key requirements for your environment
that made one option better than the other.

Paul
