You will have to pry our Data Domains from our cold stiff hands :) So far, we have written 281 TB worth of backups to only 10 TB of disk. The dedupe/compression varies significantly by data set. It also grows over time. Our VM backups using vRanger are getting close to 70x dedupe, and growing.

Thanks Kevin for some insight. Our DD will actually be in our datacenter where about 80% of our servers are now, and we already do replication SAN-SAN every 30 mins, so we wont be replicating the DD unit, but we will be adding more and more. My biggest concern was managing the Symantec BEX for the

I use both Nagios and Cacti. The only area about Nagios that I would like more is trap management. Currently, you need to implement that process yourself and glue it together. I like Nagois. Over the years, (I've used it for half a dozen years - maybe more), I've looked at other software.

I should have been clearer. It's not so much a problem with the Quantum, as it is that it wasn't speced out properly. They knew it wasn't going to be able to meet future expansion needs as it was ordered, but they needed a solution in place quickly, and it was what they could afford at the time.

For those negotiating with EMC ... find the comparable Netapp solution. Start mentioning that your requisition will be competitive. EMC does not like NetApp and will get pretty agressive on pricing if they know they are up against NetApp. On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 11:04 AM, Rob Bonfiglio

Hmm - I don't think this is hard to do (based on your requirements below). A few groups and NTFS permissions accomplishes this. You could have some folders setup as a template, and an admin would copy those folders for each new client and just run a script that re-ACLs the folders... (I am
