    I think this discussion has gone on for long enough now.

    The discussion that you referred to in your opening post says it all.

    There is really nothing more to add.

    The only reason why VTL was developed, was because no backup software could address disk as backup device in an efficient and intelligent manner.

    NBU introduced Advanced Disk and OST in version 6.5.

    Since then, I personally see no use for VTL.
    As Nicolai said - if you have been using them and they work for you - carry on.

    But we know that this discussion is purely theoretical, as we all know that you are using DataDomain with OST plugin.
