I don't think device count is relevant in a NetWorker environment because EMC doesn't license anything based on device count. What I am starting to see is that a VTL would be better for my environment because it would be easier to carve out the storage space into lots of little (10GB VTs) instead of having larger ADFTs. I figure that with the law of large numbers on my side, the odds of needing to recover data from lots of virtual tapes with them all staging is much slimmer then my needing to recover data from far fewer, but larger ADFS devices that are all busy staging data when I need to recover something.
