General VTL Response, not using Data Domain with TSM using it on
Netbackup.  We are using the "Other" de-duping product Diligent
Protectier which works with TSM on p570's the challenge for us is that
the Diligent devices only emulate DLT, so using the atape driver is out,
we have to use the TSM Device Drivers to work with DLT tape types.

We looked at Datadomain but the interface to their repository is IP, and
that was the bottleneck as we need to move 8TB in 8hours which can do
with FC VTL's

Hi....

We are an IBM shop.  We were wondering if anyone is using data domain
material with their TSM system??  We were wonder about interoperability
and any operational concerns with adding a 3rd party product into our
IBM shop which could cause any problems??  Thoughts??

PS -- We do not have any VTLs.  We have a large RISC TSM server with a
large IBM 3584-L32/D32s library using LTOs with IBM DR product.
