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.

  • 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.

  • Data Domain says 20+ hours per week when compared to using a tape library. Once the unit is configured it basically takes care of itself.
  • With MTree replication we no longer need to send tapes to an offsite storage facility.
  • Having a second data domain at our DR site allows us to perform recoveries from any of our replicated backups. We do not have to order and wait for tapes to arrive.

  • The biggest impact we have had from Data Domain is that we went from an overall backups success rate of ~65% when using a competitor to a ~95% success rate.
  • We have been able to greatly reduce recovery time and recovery point objectives through the use of Data Domain vs tape.
  • As an organization we are able to reliably recover the business data when it is needed.
