Here are some easy steps to work around this issue. Some Veeam users have experienced frustration with the performance of Backup Copies on Data Domain, as the data is rehydrated (or reduplicated), then all blocks are sent over the LAN/WAN to the second DD before getting deduped again.

The unfortunate part of Backup Copy is that it doesn’t leverage the DD APIs for Managed File Replication. This is most useful when you have a remote site where you want backups to be stored as part of your DR strategy. Within Veeam, there’s a feature called “Backup Copy” that allows you to replicate your backup files between repositories in a very straightforward manner. Pairing it with Veeam on the front end provides for a solid, easy to manage backup solution.

If you have Data Domains at different sites, you’re probably also enjoying its native replication feature, which uses a minimal amount of bandwidth and can support several different replication topologies.ĭata Domain integrates pretty seamlessly with most backup applications.

One of the reasons why so many people use Data Domain is because of its strong deduplication capabilities.
