Here's my set up. I have a Sparc T2000 with 16 1.2Ghz cores and 16Gb of RAM
running Solaris 10. I have three DataDomain restorers, two DD460s and a DD565.
These are connected to a dedicated backup gigabit backup network and jumbo
frames are implemented on the DataDomains and the T2000 interfaces
By "feasible" I don't mean "can you do it" I mean "can you do it in such
a way so that performance is reasonable". The system that I'm running
NOM on is going away so I need to find a new home for it and running it
on a VM would be a nice and easy replacement.
Thanks,

I've been using DataDomain restorers, the 460 and 565 series for almost
three years now and here's my opinion of them, good and bad.
Good:
DeDuplication - DataDomain's de-duplication claims are accurate and the
deduplication performance is impressive. I'm seeing compression ratios
of 4:1 (ORACL
I have a SpectraLogic T950 tape library with six LTO4 tape drives.
SpectraLogic replaced all of the drives earlier this year because of
problems with the IBM hardware and the new drives that I received have
dual fiber channel ports. Right now I have two drives that are dedicated
to NDMP backups and
I have two servers that I've configured with ZFS filesystems but I
haven't had a chance to test them with NetBackup yet. Do ZFS filesystems
that are mounted via the /etc/vfstab versus the ZFS mounting facility
file back up properly with the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive?

I upgraded my Solaris 10 NetBackup master to 6.5.2A by doing a clean
install of 6.5 and then upgrading to 6.5.2A and everything went well up
until the point where I wanted to start backups. nbemm would not start
and nothing I could do would make it start nor would it run in console
mode. I tried ro
I have several policies that back up network drives through Windows and I use
the UNC path for them. You have to enter this manually but it insures that if
the drive letter is changed the filesystem is still backed up.

Does anyone have any recommendations on whether I should upgrade to 6.0 or

What are the pros & cons for going directly to 6.5?

Due to some problems with the NDMP implementation in our NAS head I'm
