I know this was aimed at Amos, but I thought I would pipe in. Our DataDomain has NOT got the VTL option and it is configured as FILE with 50GB files:
Device Device Storage Device Format Est/Max Mount Class Access Pool Type Capacity Limit Name Strategy Count (MB) --------- ---------- ------- --------- ------ -------- ------ A_DD Sequential 1 FILE DRIVE 51,200.0 16 DB_DD Sequential 1 FILE DRIVE 51,200.0 16 DISK Random 5 I_DD Sequential 1 FILE DRIVE 51,200.0 16 LTO4 Sequential 5 LTO DRIVE DRIVES Works great, re-claims volumes, etc. Ben -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Schneider, Jim Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 11:38 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] De-dup ratio's Amos, We are looking into purchasing one of these options.
