Hi Ken, Yes I would have to use there snap capabilities with the dedup so I believe they consider that synthetic fulls. after the initial full data set. I am pushing for a Data Domain solution the dedup ratio is much better, and to answer your second question, That is one of my main arguments is getting rid of media servers to let the clients do all the work in our environment is really scary thought. So out of the 2 responses I received, I am very comfortable staying with NBU and a DD dedup solution.
We also would have stuff we could not move over like AIX oracle and AIX Unix Thanks for your input and any other Syncsort info is more than welcome Don Two questions for you: 1) Do/Would you use synthetic fulls (Syncsort does incrementals forever)? 2) Do your clients have the horsepower to handle source side deduplication? We could not move as there are some legacy systems they do not fully support in our environment.
