I was interviewed about this the other day. I think the combined client
is a great thing.  I also like the idea of being able to manage both
from NetWorker.  I believe it's still going to require a separate Avamar
server/cluster if you want to do de-dupe.  Does anyone know different?
Does it allow you to back up Avamar clients to a NetWorker server?  I
know you can manage the backups with a NetWorker server, but I think
they still back up to an Avamar server (think of it as a special purpose
storage node).
