Hey all,

We are currently in the planning phase of dramatically transforming out data
center's backup environment from the stone age (direct-attach tape drives on
all servers doing fulls every night) to a more modern approach of
centralization.  We are also looking to implement a data De-Duplication
device in the mix but the offerings seem...immature.  I was wondering if any
of you fine folks have any experience with any of de-duping technology
whether it's client based software (Avamar) or something that sits in front
of a backup disk device (Data Domain, Diligent, etc).  I'd be very
interested in hearing what your experiences have been.

Thanks
--Brett
