Hi.
I'm trying to understand the relationship between DP and SO (VSA especifically) when the form a relationship.
Right now we are testing DP version 9 in our lab, we are looking for a backup software that allow us to recover from a server failure, I mean the operating system, installed application and configuration.
Sadly the image disk of DP isn't working as expected but that's another issue.
We already have DP in our production enviroment so was easy the implementation, also DP its a very straight forward product, but then came alone StoreOnce.
So about StoreOnce VSA is the product that I have some questions unanswered, so lets hope you you can help me out.
1. What would SO VSA allow me to accomplish concerning DP?, right now we are going to use DP as a File Library, we are sending the Backups to a LUN.
2. If the SO VA its used as a Dedup 'device' what is the purpose of the 1TB HDD assigned to this VM?
3. What should I configure on the SO VA, a Catalyst store, a NAS, a VTL or what?, bearing in mind that DataProtector has been configured as File Library.
Those are my question for now.
Hope somebody can please point me in the right direction to learn a little more.
Regards
