[Veritas-bu] Question for NetBackup 7.0 Dedup user OR Data Domain users

2010-08-24 Thread NoSpam4Chris
To give some background to our environment. We have about 375 clients, mostly Windows with some UNIX/Linux thrown in. About half of the clients are VMs. Currently they are backed up as if they were physical machines, but we are looking to move towards using the vStorage API to do VM backups.

Remember that the built in de-dup as a limit on the amount of data it can keep track of. Over that amount you need to use a de-dup appliance. From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Alley, Chris Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 20
