That scenario is exactly what Puredisk was designed for.  If it's
typical user data (i.e. not auto-generated data like seismic or medical
imaging), I'd estimate less than 1% a day going across the wire, often
less than 0.5%.  (Your mileage may vary, of course.)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] De-Dupe with NBU PureDisk

The talk about the tapeless environments has got me thinking, and oddly
enough, we just got a visit from our Quantum sales reps talking about
the DXi series dedupe products.

Any of you folks have much experience with the Symantec NBU PureDisk
approach?

We have some remote offices that I currently have media servers at with
small slot-count autoloaders. I *hate* having to go change tapes
(they're all in-town but still a pita). I'm curious about the
utilization and replication over relatively slow T1 links.
