Mike:
 
I echo Chuck's experience. We are running NBU 6MP4 with DD460s and a 560
with a Sol10/T2000 master. We have not been able to get the network
throughput that we have wanted. The network throughput is adequate to
make our windows. DD tech support is good. We have three in production
and replicate to three more in our BCP cold site. Restorals are quick
and reliable too. Compression (de-duplication) numbers may vary. We
found that the "compression" factor is definitely data-dependent. Do
your home work as to how compressed your native data is. If there is
little compression you could do very well on the de-dup/compression (20x
or greater (maybe)). Do not count on what the sales guys and their
glossies say. Test it first. They do reduce the data stored/replicated.
They work as advertised.
 
Good luck,
 
Bill

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Data Domain with NBU



 

We have NBU 5.1 MP5, Windows, VMWare, SQL, Exchange.

 

Does anyone have any experience with Data Domain and how it integrates
with Netbackup 5.1 or 6.x?  We are currently talking with Data Domain,
but I'd like to hear what experiences are...

Thanks

Mike
