Data Domain is widely used in various backup scenarios and data storage environments. One of its primary use cases is as the data storage component for Avamar backup solution, providing reliable and efficient storage for backups. Users appreciate the seamless integration of Data Domain into storage and backup strategies, eliminating the need for tape backup. Additionally, Data Domain's deduplication feature is highly valued as it helps save disk space and avoid data duplication.
Another important use case of Data Domain is its role as a local backup target and cross-replication system for geodiverse data storage. By setting up backup and data lifecycle policies on the console, users can streamline their work processes effectively. Furthermore, Data Domain offers a high scale and efficient storage solution, contributing to agility and security in data management.
In terms of performance, PowerProtect DDs are utilized as targets for enterprise backups, ensuring reliable offsite backups. The compression factor of PowerProtect DD allows users to store a large amount of data on physical disks with optimal utilization. This makes it ideal for businesses looking to protect, manage, and recover their data efficiently.
For individuals and professionals alike, PowerProtect DD offers confidence in restoring backups and minimizing data loss disruptions. The user-friendly interface makes regular data backups easy to complete. Moreover, field technicians find PowerProtect DD valuable as it enables them to access data backups whenever needed, enhancing their productivity.
Overall, Data Domain's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industries and settings where effective data management and protection are crucial.

Sleep better knowing PowerProtect DD has your back
Was easier to aggregate company files in PPDD than using Dropbox, for the way we organize our files for our techs and customers.

Protection to your DATA
We already had Avamar in place, and since we have a good ecosystem of Dell Solution suite and wanted to evaluate PowerProtect DD also from that perspective, hence we thought of going ahead with it. We knew the limitations with Avamar and PowerProtect DD were right there from that side of the business.

Good Piece of Software, Does What it Needs to

The Power to Protect... Back me up...
I didn't pick the PowerProtect systems here, and until about 2 years ago was planning on moving away from them, leaning towards Veeam. Dell EMC changed my mind with software updates. The original interfaces were cludgy at best, not intuitive, and slow. The modern interface has made this an entirely new product and addressed all my issues on usability and function. The new model we picked addressed my only remaining issue of read speed (AKA restore speed).
Veeam does a great job and if you have an appropriate storage target already would serve you well; however there is something to be said for having it all in one integrated system, one throat to choke when issues occur can make support much easier.
Cohesity is a good product, it seems to do everything in its repertoire well but not necessarily great. I also take exception to the notion of keeping production data and backups on the same system, which if I am honest is the real deal breaker here for me.

Tried and True
We have started moving away from our Veeam + Data Domain backup environment and are moving into the Rubrik backup system. This is due to the need to quickly live to mount our database backups and to be able to improve our automation of those activities. Also, the native archival to Azure/AWS BLOB cloud storage by Rubrik is a major factor. I have nothing that negative to say about DataDomain, but it doesn't really fit into our new Rubrik solution; Although the DD can be repurposed as extra storage target for Rubrik as well if desired. All in all, DataDomain itself is a great product and is a great choice as a backup target for many backup platforms. If you are cloud heavy or looking for cloud offloading it may not be the best choice for you. If that is not your goal, then it is a good choice that is a very mature product.
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Dell's product is much better at large data sets and more reliable.

Brief overview of Data Domain
October 30, 2018
DataDomain is the best backup target for our organization
We looked at new tape libraries, mostly. At the time, Data Domain was pretty much the only game in town besides Exagrid, and I had previous experience with DD at a former job.

Data Domain - Tape is dead!

Data Domain for a seamless DR
I have used NetBackup, CommVault, Tivoli, and Actifio in my previous environments. With Data Domain I am not constantly babysitting my backup to make sure it is not choking and dying and we are not bound by the same channel lane path constraints most backup software and hardware works on. By far the initial cost has been more than made up for with the time not being dedicated to backup.

Data Domain - Stable, Reliable.... just works!
Prior to purchasing Data Domain we were a large user of HP VLS9000 technology. In using VLS9000 we were configured to use virtual tape. When we moved to Data Domain we greatly simplified our configuration by changing from virtual tape to NAS based target backups. This change in combination with the move from VLS9000 to Data Domain has greatly reduced complexity and at the same time greatly increased backup success rates.
