Re: [MSUNAG] Backup Solutions
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-17 TB, and a significant portion of it will be coming across the campus network. We'll be backing up Windows Servers, Linux Servers, Exchange, MS SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and I'm sure a few others have slipped my mind. These are some reasons we liked Avamar, because the it has source-based deduplication at fairly high rates, which also reduces backup time. It also seems to integrate nicely with our EMC SAN and VMWare.
We use Microsoft DPM2010 For Disk - Disk and Disk - Disk - Tape backups. Its easy ans slick but only for Microsoft products which from my understanding is what you are now using. I'd be happy to show you, let me know.

Anyone out there have any experience with any backup solutions?
We're looking at an EMC Avamar to give us backup to disk to tape, but the price tag stands out in a not so good way. I have also looked into Barracuda's backup service, but it does not appear that the backup data can be duplicated to tape or another device except in their cloud, and we are just not comfortable with our data out in a cloud somewhere (at least not yet).
Thanks,
