Hi Stu52
We use the Media Server Duduplication Pools (MSDP) with NBU7. This allows you to present storage to a server as a normal hard drive. While the data is backed up to the MSDP it is deduplicated. As I posted in my previous post I got 4x the storage space for half the cost of purchasing a Data Domain. The data one the MSDP is then replicated to an MSDP at the DR site, and like a DataDomain, the deduplicated data is sent across the WAN, not the entire backup set.
If you haven't yet, check out the MSDP options in NBU7. It saved me alot of money and gave me a lot more.
