We have no issues with GRT Sharepoint restores from OST (At least on 6.5.4 and 7.0.1 with DataDomain OST). What doesn't work is SLP or duplication.  You will want to have non GRT backups as well if you want optimized offsite duplicates or tape copies.  I didn't bother wit

I was working on our 7.1 upgrade project and was looking for a fision-io card or other SSD solution for my catalog. The flat file aspect of the catalog is an I/O hog, and I'd prefer an SSD solution to 8 or 10 spindles in my master. I tend to agree with those that say it's a bad idea to put your

Not quite. A checkpoint forces a break in the data stream; on tape for will get a EOF mark written; the tape will stop; the media server has a bit of a chat with the Master Server, flushing out data about the files backed up in the file just closed, etc. That is how it knows if there is a fail

We were advised that no deduplication appliance works with GRT restores so even if the backup appeared to work you wouldn’t be able to restore owing to the fact that the data is deduplicated so isn’t really browseable for restores. We didn’t try the basic storage unit on DD or Quantum DXi – we
