Hi all, I've got an issue I'm trying to figure out on NB 7.0.1. I've got one media server that has both a tape library and a large storage array attached to it. The storage array is configured as a PureDisk disk pool. The maximum concurrent jobs s...

Hi everyone, so I purchased 6.5 about a week before 7.0 came out, and without maintenance (of course) so I'm not eligible for the new software, or so I thought. I didn't know about 7 coming out until it was too late to just return the purchase and ...

Very cool, thanks for that info. I'm not wanting to do client-side dedupe because we run compute-intensive tasks on the servers so I don't want to take cycles away from that if possible. I guess I'll do some performance testing once it's all set up...

Thanks for the reply Kevin. I've decided to change the configuration somewhat since the time of my post just based on things I've read since then, and enhance the storage as well, but ideally if I can I'd still like to use just the one media server....
