Our two EMC Data Domain 640 repositories, one which we keep in our offsite CoLo 
facility and the other in our main office, have maxed out their capacity sooner 
than we had planned. Along with the DD?s we use Avamar nodes to backup our VMs 
with Direct Drive Mappings (SQL clusters) and a few physical servers. We also 
use Veeam to back up the majority of our VM?s - approx 100 servers. Replication 
occurs between the two DDs, approx 63TB compressed. 

We?re currently researching a solution where we combine both DD?s at the CoLo 
and replicate the data to an offsite provider. The main challenge here is 
finding a solution that talks to the EMC DD/Avamar nodes. Two options we?re 
considering are Veritas Net Backup and HP Data Protector. We used Backup Exec 
prior to our infrastructure going mostly virtual but are not familiar with the 
Data Protector product. Would be interested to hear reviews from users of 
either product.
