I second Data Domain as a disk target for backups!

We evaluated them here and they don't work with a darn in our environment. For small parts of our environment (replicating remote sites back here), a PureDisk solution is working well but for our main data store, the DD stuff doesn't justify itself.

DataDomain is a good tool, but not necessarily the right tool for every job.
