At CD-DataHouse, we think Veeams great.
In fact Veeams brilliant.
But - backend storage grows quickly and can soon be a headache.
Here we explore a few options for:
1) Backend Storage
2) Using Veeams native DeDupe &
3) Enterprise Class DeDupe devices.
Suprisingly - you don't always have to spend 'big' to meet your needs.
We start with "No to Low" cost options & move upward from there

Backend storage growth adds to those headaches - and faced with a £30-40-£50K proposal from a DeDupe vendor, you're left juggling multiple questions
- Do I actually need a DeDupe box?
- Can my Veeam policies be optimised to generate less data?
- Why is a 48TB Synology £3-£4K and a 48TB DeDupe Appliance £30-40K?
- & how does Veeam Version 9's Scale out back end help me consume less disk?
