Hi Ken,
Yes I would have to use there snap capabilities with the dedup so I believe 
they consider that synthetic fulls. after the initial full data set. I am 
pushing for a Data Domain solution the dedup ratio is much better, and to 
answer your second question, That is one of my main arguments is getting rid of 
media servers to let the clients do all the work in our environment is really 
scary thought.
So out of the 2 responses I received, I am very comfortable staying with NBU 
and a DD dedup solution.

We also would have stuff we could not move over like AIX oracle and AIX Unix

Thanks for your input and any other Syncsort info is more than welcome
Don
  
Two questions for you: 
1) Do/Would you use synthetic fulls (Syncsort does incrementals 
forever)? 
2) Do your clients have the horsepower to handle source side 
deduplication? 

We could not move as there are some legacy systems they do 
not fully support in our environment. 

Ken

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Syncsort NSB vs Netbackup? 

I would like to know if anyone has any information on Syncsort NSB? Pro's 
and Con's, would anyone consider leaving Netbackup to go to Syncsort NSB 
on NetApp in a large enterprise?
