32TB of deduped data, that's post process, which could be closer to 100TB in
original data size assuming average file types.
Thats still a lot of data per media server.
Use a PureDisk pool and you can go to 192TB of dedupe storage in a pool, and
leverage load balanced media servers.

Neil,
True for the likes of say Quantum you can NDMP direct to tape, and that is a
cool feature. I however dont see much issue going through a media server these
days as fast as media servers are, and forget VTL, just use disk built into and
accessible to NBU!

One use for VTLs are NDMP backups, which can be written directly and
thus bypass the media server. You can send NDMP backups to an OST
device, but not without going through a media server first. Depending
on how much data you have, that might mean additional media server(s)
and a dedicate
As others mentioned, just step away from VTL's in general. All they are, are

We currently have Copan and NetApp VTL. NetApp disbanded their VTL practice so
moving forward support will be an issue. Copan is and has been running well, w
