- Ultimate Data Integrity: Data Domain’s Data Invulnerability Architecture provides the best defense against data integrity issues to continuously verify, detect and protect against data recoverability issues throughout the life cycle of the data.
Symantec Veritas NetBackup (NBU) is one of the most pervasive data management tools used in medium to large size data centers. It is a critical component of users' backup, recovery, and disaster preparedness strategies. NBU directs the operation of disk and tape media that stores typically five times more data than what can be found on the primary storage in the same data center. As data continues to grow unabated and as more attention is focused on a company's ability to recover from a disaster, new replication and disaster recovery (DR) solutions enabled by deduplication are becoming mandatory in many data management approaches.
Data Domain deduplication storage together with the Data Domain OpenStorage (OST) option provides these disaster recovery solutions with a foundation of simplicity and flexibility and allow NetBackup administrators to easily manage and take full advantage of these new and intelligent disk-based storage systems.

Data Domain Replicator software provides network-efficient, automated, ultra-safe replication for disaster recovery (DR), remote office data protection and multi-site tape consolidation. Data Domain Replicator software vaults or asynchronously replicates only the compressed, deduplicated data over the wide area network (WAN), making WAN vaulting economically and operationally feasible.
Key features include:
- Up to 99% Network Bandwidth Reduction: For replication, Data Domain’s Global Compression™ becomes more effective by first deduplicating and compressing data at the originating Data Domain system and then employing the techniques again on the destination system.
- Secure, Simple and Integrated: Replicator software enables automated offsite replication by easily integrating with the existing network and backup infrastructure. WAN vaulting eliminates the security risks associated with human intervention and physical tape transportation.
- Fast Online Data Recovery: Data Domain systems provide high capacity and network-based DR, making it possible to recover online data from either location.
- Remote Office Data Protection: Replicator software enables geographically distributed branch offices to vault selected data to a central hub or data center for enterprise-wide site recovery.
- Tape Consolidation: Replicator software eliminates the need for tape backup at each remote office and enables organizations to consolidate tape infrastructure at a central hub with experienced IT staff.
- Flexible Deployment Options: To meet a broad scope of data protection needs, Replicator software allows enterprises to deploy different topologies, such as one-to-one mirroring, bi-directional vaulting and many-to-one remote site vaulting.
