Vault is useful for duplicating these afterward but you can write it
yourself if you want to, centered around the "bpduplicate" command.
 
Disks don't compress.  That's the biggest thing I learned.  Tapes do.  If
you turn on client-side compression to compensate, then your client load
soars and the compression isn't that good.
 
Other than that, availability is higher, speeds can be greater.  Restores
are nice and fast.

I'm interested in any "lessons learned" or other experiences that anyone
would care to share about implementing disk-based backup solutions with NBU
4.5 (using Vault to make tape copies).  We're about to embark down this road
with a new NetApp R150.

Thanks!
