“Our DataDomain unit has significantly reduced our backup
and restore burden. Tape usage, which previously required weekly manual
intervention, is now reduced to an occasional rotation for off-site storage. Even
with our wide variety of data, including everything from e-mail to already
compressed data sets, we are seeing an aggregate 10x compression ratio. The
increased capacity and flexibility our DataDomain unit provides allows us more
backup options for our departmental users and has made backups and restores an
order of magnitude faster.”
