Morning,

Current Environment -

Michigan -- NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on HP-ux ( Media and master run on the same 
box )
Attached to a L180 tape library with 10 tape drives ( 5 LTO1 and 5 LTO2 tape 
drives ) 
Backups up around 100 clients

Ohio -- NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on redhat Linux ( Media and master run on the same 
box )
Attached to a L20 tape library with 2 tape drives ( 2 LTO2 tape drives ) 
Backups up around 20 clients

NC (North Carolina ) -- NBU 6.0 MP 3 running on redhat Linux ( Media and master 
run on the same box )
Attached to a standalone tape drive
Backups up around 2 clients

We would like to move to disk backups this year -- Not exactly sure which way 
to go ( DSSU or VTL or de-duplication)
Was wondering if I can get any kind of suggestions ? - Also Is it possible to 
decommission NBU at the 2 remote sites ( Ohio and NC ) and back them up at Troy 
Data center . In the past we have tried having a NBU media server at the Ohio 
data center and master at Troy, which did not work out due to the network 
related issue .

Here is the suggestion I got from the Veritas sales person -
Having Pure disk agents at Ohio and NC sites instead of NBU and backing those 
clients from Troy -- Not sure how feasible and reliable option is this ? Any 
comments

Thanks in advance.
Smitha
