Something else worth looking at is datadomain...we just had a rep come
is a review it with us, we are looking to try to get a demo box in here.
Might be a little cheaper the PureDisk especially, since Symantec has
changed the priceing of their product.  I believe they are moving to a
per data size pricing. 

Thanks
Dan

We are using PureDisk for our remote sites and it is doing a great job
with the de-dupe.  We are backing up across networks with very high
latency and at T1 or even less speeds

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.)

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.
