I just checked with my DD SE and you do not need to have your DD appliance
setup as a VTL to be able to duplicate to tape using an SLP. My original post
was correct, backup destination will be DD#1, duplicate destinations inside the
same SLP will be DD#2 and your tape drive(s).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] EMC Data Domain OST Vs VTL with NetBackup
We are in the early stages of implementing EMC Data Domain dedupe appliance and
use Symantec NetBackup. I've a couple of questions about it for the experts.
Plan is to have a DD appliance in 1 location and replicate data to another DD
appliance in another location. Plan is also to generate a tape copy for long
term archival at primary location.
1.OST & VTL are both being discussed. Which option is most favorable in the
industry? Are there any specific advantages that can make or break things?
2.VTL supports LTO3 drives at the most. Does this mean that we need to have
LTO3 physical tape drives for duplicate copy or will LTO5 drives work?
Thanks in advance.
