So, the way I read this is that since you're going to want the advanced
stuff (as it's really cool), there is no longer ANY licensing pricing
advantage of DSUs over VTLs.

When you add de-dupe to this, a VTL is far cheaper now if it offers
de-dupe, even when you consider Symantec licensing.

6.5 uses a sliding capacity model. 1-20TB would be priced about same per
TB.
Above 20TB the discount gets greater.

Under Traditonal Model 6.5
$995 List per TB "Usable Capacity" NBU for VTL (VTO) 

$0 DSU Free
$995 List DSU per TB with NetBackup Flexible Disk Option(FDO) (Advanced
Disk
and SharedDisk)

Enterprise Model 6.5
$11,995 List per FE Terabytes includes Vault,SSO,FDO,VTO,OSO,NAS
Snapvault,NDMP) Most every thing you will ever need.
FE Front End, basically the total of all your fulls. Minus all copies of
redundant data.


Netbackup 6.0
$1000 per TB VTL


Can't do NDMP to a DSU as far as I know.
Need Tape or VTL for NDMP.
