Optimised duplication MSDP to DD

[Chris_W]

Hi

We are decommissioning an MSDP and need to move the data to a Data Domain. It is logically about 250TB so we have kicked off parallel duplication jobs. The speeds are good considering; but no matter which way you look at it 250TB is a lot! [ Using boost over 10GB LAN ]

It doesn't seem like the jobs are running as optimised duplications (like MSDP to MSDP does), is this even an option for MSDP to Data Domain?

Thanks

Not possible between different manufacturers / storage types.

MSDP -> DD will rehydrate the data.
