Hello Group, I would like to know what products other TSM folks are using to back up laptops and desk tops in their environment? We have a business requirement that started out with only backing up an average of '200' termed laptops/workstations and need to keep the termed employees data for 10 years. Now the business would like us to look into backing up all our laptops and workstations(approximately 2,000 Wintel desktops and 600 Wintel laptops). We believe the average capacity used may be 5-10GB. Our laptops are already encrypted with encryption software. We have some remote offices with laptops(maybe 20 laptops).
We are currently started looking into the EMC Avamar product and IBM so far? Anyone using Avamar, if yes, how is it working out for you,any gotcha's? Anyone using other products that may fit our needs? Background of our current backup environment: TSM Server: 5.5.4.0 TSM OS: AIX, 5.3 We eliminated our physical tape environment in our open systems and mainframe environment last year. We replaced our EDLs and physical tape libraries with Data Domains. We emulated VTL library for 95% of our clients and have an NFS share for database logs and important TSM files. Then we replicate our opens systems(TSM) data domain and our mainframe data domain to an offsite data domain for DR recovery.
