Re: [Veritas-bu] Anyone using avamar

Haven’t used Avamar but have used the Data Domains.

In general I like EMC hardware but their Clariion support is done BADLY out of India IMHO. Prior to buying anything other than Symmetrix to them I’d be asking where the front line and 2^nd tier support is. If they tell you India then I’d suggest you move on. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is if you have substandard support after the fact.

We’re a netbackup shop running NBU 6.5.2a. We currently have some data domain appliances that we backup roughly

25% of our nightly backups to. We’re looking to go tapeless at some point in time and were considering getting larger

Data domain appliances to accomplish this. We’re also a EMC shop. Our EMC BURA guys have been pushing their Avamar

Solution to us. I must admit it sounds promising, but I’m a little skeptical at this solution.

Has anyone had any experiences, either good or bad with Avamar?
