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.

Good Piece of Software, Does What it Needs to
I use Dell PowerProtect DD to protect, manage, and recover the data on my home laptop. I have not yet needed to use it for any serious data recovery issues, but the interface of the software is simple to use and I've found it easy to complete regular data backups. I have full confidence that, in the event of any data loss, it would be straightforward to restore the backups and minimise the disruption caused by the data loss. Happy with the product, no real complaints.

No other people in my organization use PowerProtect DD, as far as I know
As far as I know, we don't have anybody to provide in-house support for PowerProtect DD. The software is easy to use, though, so we don't need them either.

The product features were the single most important factor in my decision, because I needed a solution I could trust. The price was important too though, of course.
If I had to do it again, I would perform a more detailed evaluation of possible alternatives to PowerProtect DD. However, I'm happy with the product and its price.

DataDomain is the best backup target for our organization
Like most DD users, we primarily use Data Domain restorer appliances as disk targets for backups, through CIFS and VTL protocols. Two units 100 miles apart provide local backup targets and cross-replicate for geodiverse data storage. All backups from IBM iServers (VTL), Tivoli Storage Manager, vRanger, AvePoint DocAve and SQL native backups (CIFS) land on a local DD and are replicated offsite.
- High data ingestion rate. For inline dedupe, these devices can ingest a saturated Gigabit Ethernet line, plus a FibreChannel from an AS/400.
- High reliability. In ten years of having at least two units and ingesting 1.5 to 2TB/night of backups, we've replaced maybe three disk drives.
- Scalability. Dedupe ratios are very good (11:1 for us for all data), and the DD2500 models allow addition of disk trays to expand capacity.
- Ease of use. Management interface is good, the free Data Domain Management Center Appliance is even better.
- Dedupe ratios on a per-folder or per-CIFS share basis would be nice, we can only see the ratio per partition (MTree). So it's not possible to see what ratio we get from Tivoli data vs vRanger data, for instance, because they're in the same MTree.
- The VTL option seems inordinately expensive given it's only software. We held off a long time because of the cost, and only went down that road because the IBM iSeries is inherently unable to do a DR recovery from disk only.

- We were able to avoid upgrading/replacing a very expensive tape library. ROI was break-even the first year.
- We cut almost one man-hour per day in tape-handling duties.
- Restore of large data sets (an entire GroupWise post office, for instance) was cut from 15 hours to 15 minutes.
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.

This is a storage device, so in our case the Storage Admin supports the DataDamains. It's an appliance, though, so specialized storage skills aren't really necessary. A server admin or backup/recovery admin can do it.
- Backup target for file-based backups. Tivoli Storage Manager (using storage pool type FILE) and AvePoint Docave SharePoint backups.
- Backup target for image-level backups. Dell vRanger
- Backup target for iSeries (VTL).
- We have used them to store long-term static data such as litigation holds.
- We have toyed with the idea of using them as Tier-4 storage. They are not very fast when accessed by multiple users in small IOPs, so this would have to be done judiciously.
