No direct experience with the NBU appliances, but if you want to utilize Client Direct (client side dedupe) and/or AIR (aka Image Replication and Import to a Remote Master), you will need to use the SYMC appliances.

Hi, I'm searching back through the archives for any discussions about NBU appliances (as well as on SymantecConnect). Below is one of the few threads I've found. Have been looking at the 5220, weighing up the different model options. To get I/O config for "backup" and "tape out", you have to forgo 10GbE. Would really appreciate knowing if there's anyone on the list that has been working with any of these appliances? Anyone moving from DD across or any gotchas? Anyone know how dedup ratios and restore times compare between DD app and NBU app? Hoping for real world experience rather than the marketing info - as I've found the tech deepdive material which only goes so far. Many thanks Robyn [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5000 Series replication?

Next message: [Veritas-bu] Introducing the NetBackup Screencast Demonstration Videos Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] ________________________________ I'm doing replication from a remote MSDP to a PureDisk server (essentially a build it yourself NBU5000) using optimized duplication with no problems so far. Been running for about 6 - 7 weeks now. I've got an NBU5000 in our datacenter waiting to be unboxed and installed for our North America environment. It's working pretty well so far. Dedup rates are in the mid 90% range. Presently backing up and duplicating 1.8TB of full backups on a weekly basis and about 400GB of incrementals per week. Replication occurs from a remote site across a 20Mb/s WAN link. The distance is approx 930Km. The initial seeding of the Puredisk server took about 9 days, but once that finished, the weekly full backups, from start to all replication complete takes under 12 hours. This is a NetBackup 7 environment. -- Jack Forester, Jr. Sr. Data Protection Administrator Global Technology Services - AHS Mylan, Inc. 5005 Greenbag Road Morgantown, WV 26501 jack.forester at mylan.com Phone: +1.304.554.6039 Cell: +1.412.805.5313 From: scott.george at parker.com To: VERITAS-BU at MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Date: 01/30/2011 12:05 AM Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 5000 Series replication? Sent by: veritas-bu-bounces at mailman.eng.auburn.edu We are about to do a proof of concept of one in a couple of weeks. I will post the outcome. I would really like Oracle to release Solaris 11 with zfs deduplication. When that happens, its going to drive down the pricing in the market. In the mean time, I am in the market too, and shopping around.

Sent by: veritas-bu-bounces at mailman.eng.auburn.edu We are in the market for a new backup/replication system. We are looking at using NetBackup 7 with a NetBackup appliance, probably the 5020. Is anyone using a NBU 5000 series device for replication? How do you like it? How was the setup? How much data do you backup? After dedup how much data do you replicate? Do you replicate to a remote site? If so, what is the distance and what kind of network are you using? Thanks in advance. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by scott.fischer at alliedbuilding.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to abuse at backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Robyn Hirano RODD Consulting Pty Ltd M: +61 412 352 725 E: [email protected] _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
