With respect, I'm still not clear what you're looking to backup.
Is it all of the data, is it the subset of the data that's at the remote sites?
You have 3tb available in each location, is that 3tb you could backup to, or
are you saying it's 3tb of potential source data in each location?
Are the servers file servers, Exchange servers, SQL servers? If so, what is
the data split?
What do you do now for backup?
Generally, I'd suggest moving to d2d2t but use source side dedupe and
technologies like synthetic fulls to cut down your backup window. Personally
I'm still a fan of tape for the "stick it in a safe" factor, tape libraries
(kind of) solve the "forgot to change the tape" thing, and if you're doing
d2d2t having a tape in a library is less important as your backups will still
run.

We already have NAS units at each location with at least 3 TB of available
storage.
Budget: $7500
My intention with D2D is to have one full back with incremental backups so the
backup window should be a non-issue. The incrementals can occur multiple times
a day using VSS.

What's your budget, size of environment, and amount of data for backups on a
daily/weekly basis?

I've been researching backup software and I'd like to go with a disk-to-disk
solution with offsite replication for disaster recovery. We currently are doing
disk-to-disk-to-tape and it's taking too long. Plus I'm tired of people telling
me they forgot to put the next tape in.
I'd appreciate any real-world recommendations on what's good or warnings on
what's not so good.
Thanks.
