I didn't see it mentioned here - so I thought I'd drop it into the thread - there has been a shift in the client connection pricing when the solution intended will include the Avamar (dedupe node) ba

It works It's good for virtual environments It has no tape out facility worth speaking about... so think about your retention periods. Siobhan Ellis Hey Guys, We are getting ready to ink the deal on
Well we almost signed an Avamar deal for exactly the same problem... Avamar tape is coming/here, basically it clones to a virtual edition, shuts down the virtual, backs up as a standard Networker/Net
Hey Siobhan, My thinking for the lack of tape out, is that I would just run one backup a month to regular tape. That fits well with how we do it now. Is that still feasible with avamar? Thank you for

Hey Joel, That's the same plan the EMC sales force told me about -- but that means you now have paid for the AVAMAR solution and also have to pay for a NetWorker client license for each one of your g
Well if you would use the Avamar as an independant product and not make it a dedupe storage node in NetWorker then you only have to buy one "Tape Out" NetWorker client. If you use it as an integrated
Hey Frances/Alec, But the virtual server licensing doesn't address resource contention issues that happens with backups in a virtual environment? How are you planning to get around that? Thanks! Joel

Joel, My virtual environment is fat enough that I have observed more problems from the 4:02 am every Sunday running of catman in a default Red Hat installation than I have from the nightly backup job
Well we would do a few things.... We have a 100TB VTL... So we do monthly Fulls and daily incr. I'd modify things so that the full weekend was more distributed throughout the month, also at the end o

Joel, Yes it is, but you want take sure you don't do all the Fulls at once. Having said that, if you can do that, you could probably use the avamar tape out. It's biggest problem is it is slooooooooo

Um, We paid for a client license in NetWorker and used the NetWorker integration. This means you just pay for capacity on Avamar. No problem there. Siobhan Hey Joel, That's the same plan the EMC sale
Right but in an environment with 700 clients and 200 sharepoints it can be a lot cheaper to forego Networker client costs by using a non-integrated Avamar. Alec Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T Um, We pai

There are benefits to having an integrated solution. We have an extremely large NetWorker implementation, with many many retention period requirements over petabytes. The cost is worth it for the red
Hey Guys, We are getting ready to ink the deal on a big VMware environment, but the outstanding issue is still... how do we back it all up. To protect the VMDKs we are planning on doing snapshots and
