Hi,
We are also looking in D2D solution which work with netbackup. We are
going to make decision between DataDomain and Dilligent. This is my
thought about these two products.
Dillignet:
Pro:  VTL - low impact on configuration.
        faster - it use fiber channel.
        more add on functions - there are some good add-on functions you
can buy from diligent. 
Con:  costly - Software: Netbackup VTL license, Diligent license, Redhat
RHEL 64-bit license.
                   Hardware: 64 bit AMD server, disk storage. If you
don't have san, you might need a fiber switch.
Datadomain:
Pro:    Simple, no software license needed.
Con:  Not expendable, if you run out of space, you screw up.

Netbackup PureDisk: PureDisk is like a separate software from Netbackup.
You can have a lot of choice if you want to look into different D2D
products. PureDisk only support windows client.
