Snapvault is not EOL. The next version of SMVI will be including snapvault support. In the interim, Matt Robinson of NetApp has written SV SMVI (Snapvault for Snapmanager for Virtual Infrastructure). I've tried it in our development lab and it seems to work really well. Take a look at it at http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1868;jsessionid=A4775C7EF68BD0E628BE5...
The S550 is being discontinued and therefore snapvault primary for it is EOL. However, snapvault for the FAS series is not EOL.

I think snapvault is EOL but is supported
through 7.3. For some reason, the backup guys don’t want to do it, not
sure about the specifics, but our VAR (who is great btw), has been trying
to
push us in that direction.
IF it is EOL, that is a nail in that
coffin.

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.
