Re: Data Domain: Data Domain, and SQL-Backtrack with Sybase databases

We don't have DD or any other dedup box . . .but we think about them a lot. This has been one or our ongoing discussions. Our big database servers that use rman/tdpo/lanfree. If we could get enought throughput with straight ethernet or 10g ethernet, then we could ditch tdpo/lanfree and use

I've recently been in an environment that went from very old slow low capacity tape to slightly faster CDL/EDL. (VTL access being the only choice in that case.) EMC buying DD put DD on the inside track for doing proof of concepts for things like replacing TSM/LanFree/EDL with RMAN over NFS

In my experience, reporting the space usage (cost) of each RMAN instance is the only way we can force them to expire backups. Even then, it's only administrative recommendations. As a result, I don't allow Oracle on our disk-based backups. In our environment, we need to maintain expiration

TKutil, 1. VDR is a disk-to-disk inline deduplicated backup solution for and from VMware. 2. VCB will be discontinued and is not the way forward in the long run. 3. VDR still has many gaps around functionality but in its simplest form works. 4. VMware has made available Storage API's that will

Hi, I've tested it with TSM 6.2 and vSphere 4.0. When doing file-backups of the VM the vStorage API is used, when doing a FULLVM backup then still VCB is used. You do not have the need for a client to be installed in the various VM's, just a proxy node. Met vriendelijke groet, with kind

Anyone out there using any of the Cybernetics iSAN VTL D2D2T units? It's not on the TSM supported list under VTL's, but the vender says that's OK since the models of libraries and drives they emulate are supported. I have a client that is interested in 2 of these for primary and a recovery site
