We are looking at vtls as well.
You might check into the ibm protectier 7650.

This is a head end that you attach to whatever storage you have. Emulates a lot 
of libraries, including the 3484 and 3494 I believe.

Should know more in a couple of weeks after we review the answers to our RFPs.

Subject: [ADSM-L] VTL's and D2D solutions

We are currently looking at adding a Disk to Disk backup solution.  Our current 
solution has a 3584 tape library with LTO-5 drives using TKLM.
 
We have looked at Exagrid and Data Domain.  Also, I believe HP has a solution.
 
We will need to have encryption on the device and the ability to replicate 
between the two disk units.
 
Anyone have any comments or recommendations?  
 
Thanks,
Kevin
