[Veritas-bu] Data Domain with NBU

Thanks Steve - any info helps.  We currently do not do NDMP and don't
plan on it as we don't have any NAS devices.

 

You bring up an interesting point, we are looking at Symantec Pure Disk
too...they would probably have to be used for our remote offices anyway.
Data Domain said they wouldn't be able to give us a cost benefit for our
remote offices if they are backing up under 300-400 GBs.  That is the
case for most of our 12 remote offices.

 

Does anyone else use Pure Disk?

Mike

Mike, 

If you use NDMP backups, avoid it, we had to use there VLT solution, and
found a major bug in the code.  They state that the code fix will not be
GA until July of this year.  There support is great, very helpful and
knowledgeable.  Read the fine print, and get a copy of the support
matrix, as they refer to it quite a bit before they start
troubleshooting. 

To be honest, the DDR's are in competition with NBU and there remote
office solution, so do not expect support from the NBU side either.
DataDomain is more targeted toward CommVault, and Legato, not NBU.  I
would look at the support matrix from NBU as well. 

I hope this helps.

We have NBU 5.1 MP5, Windows, VMWare, SQL, Exchange. 
  
Does anyone have any experience with Data Domain and how it integrates
with Netbackup 5.1 or 6.x?  We are currently talking with Data Domain,
but I'd like to hear what experiences are... 
Thanks 
Mike
