  1. @rootwyrm Re: smaller tape libraries. Yuck! No thanks. about 8 hours ago from web in reply to rootwyrm
  2. @Storagezilla Near-CDP provides everything CDP does except for 0-length RPOs & it doesn't have some of the downsides of CDP. about 8 hours ago from web
  3. @Storagezilla Sorry was off for a bit. Many ppl refer to the combination of snapshots & replication as near-CDP. about 8 hours ago from web in reply to Storagezilla
  4. @rootwyrm If u mean replicated snapshots, I'm all for that. When you get into PBs, doing traditional backup doesn't meet the reqs about 10 hours ago from web in reply to rootwyrm
  5. @dvellante 1PB? No question:Put it on near-CDP capable storage that backs itself up. snapshots, replication, and maybe eventual tape copy about 10 hours ago from web in reply to dvellante
  6. @rootwyrm Agreed. Its not a match 4 every VM. Not sure why u say it doesn't help Unix environs tho. about 10 hours ago from web in reply to rootwyrm
  7. @dvellante But then again, few backup solutions are capable of that anyway about 10 hours ago from web in reply to dvellante
  8. @dvellante 1 thing you have to be aware w/src dedupe is its aggregate restore speed.OK 2 restore many VMs, but 8000 simultaneoulsy? No. about 10 hours ago from web in reply to dvellante
  9. @dvellante Avamar (and other source dedupe pdcts) are made for remote data w/bad bandwidth.That's essentially what VMs are. Good match. about 10 hours ago from web in reply to dvellante
