Re: [Veritas-bu] Quantum's DXi Series of Dedupe Appliances

We have run the DD460 and DD690 (and continue to run the latter). Back in November we got the DXi 6500 to replace our two DD460s. Performance wise I really like the Data Domain products - they do the compression they promise. So far I've seen nothing with the DXi 6500 that leads me to

[Veritas-bu] Backup up vCenter host as a VM

2011-02-14 Thread James Pattinson
Hello All I have a quick question regarding NBU 7.0.1 and the VMware integration. Is is OK to treat the vCenter host (which is itself a VM) as a regular VM for backup purposes? So it would essentially be taking a snapshot of itself and presenting it the VMware backup host? Using vCenter 4.1

Hi Mark, You were right to explore lower cost alternative solutions for your deduplication needs. As a long-time Data Domain customer you have firsthand experience on how expensive those solutions can be. It is unfortunate however that at the time you were evaluating a newer, lower cost

On the Quantum, When we were looking at it a while back, I understood that for each client you threw at it, it would store a non-deduped initial base image of that client and dedupe around it, as opposed to deduping everything including base images and incrementals. Is that still the case? ~

Our understanding is that the initial image goes to cache (ssd) then is compressed to permanent storage (RAID6). Subsequent backups are block deduped from that original compressed copy.This is similar to the way it worked with Data Domain except they do it inline on the fly. That is to say

We are currently using PureDisk and NBU 5000 as well as DataDomain in our many far-flung backup environments. Each one has its place. One thing to remember that with the NBU7 deduplication or the NBU5000. You need an additional per-TB deduplication option license for each TB of data that is

No. The normal operation is a true inline dedup, but you have an option to delay the dedup. We use the inline method and our OST-connected 6550 has met or exceeded our performance expectations. Cheers, Wayne On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 11:06 AM, Robin Small robin.sm...@fresno.govwrote, in part:
