Data Domain - questions from a meeting with DD

2009-06-15 Thread Richard Rhodes
Hello, The other day we had a meeting with Data Domain - just the normal vendor update about their products.  While informative, several comments were made by DD systems that I thought I like your opinions on.  (note:  we are a all tape shop, and probably will be until the next hardware refresh i

DR on TSM Server running on Linux

If you are running TSM Server on a linux box, how do you do Disaster Recovery? Do you install a fresh copy of linux, reinstall the TSM rpms, and then do the TSM DB restore? Or do you have some none-TSM backup of the linux system that you restore as a starting point? If the later, what do you

Ben, How much data do you have in DD and what sort of ratios are you seeing? What about performance during restores? Thanks, Kelly Lipp CTO STORServer, Inc. 485-B Elkton Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80907 719-266-8777 x7105 www.storserver.com -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Man

We have been in production with our DD for about 18 months now. We have about 20TB of native storage on the DD. We are currently using about 16TB of the native storage and have fit about 195TB of TSM data onto the disks, which comes out to a 12-to-1 ratio (or about a 91% reduc
