Deduplicating VTLs fit better into NBU sites.  TSM's progressive
incremental methodology already reduces the data stream, making deduping
VTLs less of a "win", though it can still be beneficial.  My point is that
VTL vendors may not look as positively on TSM as they do on other
less-efficient backup solutions, because they don't sell as much VTL
product to them.  IMHO.
