Not a device, but we are using Acronis Backup and Recovery 11.5 with the deduplication option.
My review of Acronis is mixed: If you don't have crazy server configurations, it should work just fine. If you have Macs saving files on SMB shares, Macintosh file names can make a file-level backup difficult, and you can't do an image backup of a server with iSCSI mapped drives. Be aware of the memory requirements of Deduplication. Check with your vendor. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Derrenbacker, L.
