My understanding with Netbackup Pure Disk is that you can manage it like a DSU 
but in reality its a server with storage (not a media server) like most other 
de-duplication softwares.  I was quite excited to see the new functionality, 
but when the Symantec rep told me that it pretty much negated the advantage of 
Puredisk over other de-duplication softwares.  Unless I'm missing something?

>Remember that saying "I don't want a VTL but I do want de-dupe" means that
you're going to use NAS

Actually it doesn't.  Don't forget about PureDisk as a NetBackup storage
unit.  Write to locally attached disk, whether it's local SATA or
SAN-attached.
