Subject: Avamar VS SMVI
We are starting an eval of SMVI and Avamar for backup/recovery
of VM's. We are planning on having snapmirrors to another filer for backup
(NDMP) and or DR purposes, but are doing the sm to a local filer for now.
Avamar has some good selling point, but it seems to be a waste to buy yet
another storage platform. We are heavily invested in netapp now with a VTL
(1400), and NetBackup. Does anyone have any feed back? It seems to make sense
to to SMVI but with Avamar I get longer retention. I was only going to keep a
weeks worth of SMVI snapshots. With Avamar, it seem indefinite. The downside
of the avamar is you seem to need two for going to tape. Avamar can do the
single file restores, which SMVI 2.0 is supposed to do. Anyhow, any feedback
is appreciated.
