Hello,
We plan to upgrade our backup solution running DPM2010 to DPM2012 R2 with a new storage pool
While we had until now a direct attached storage (SAS connection) to the DPM server, our vendor proposes a storage model with VTL (Virtual Tape Library) interface.
If I do understand, VTL acts like a Virtual Tape Library and thereforce appears like a "physical tape Library" under DPM Library management, right? Instead of having physical tape, you manage virtual tape.
In that case, once you attache your storage to your DPM server, it only appears as a tape libray, and you can't allocate it for a disk pool allocation?
In that case, if you plan to have short-term protection with Disk2Disk backup, it's not possible Under DPM, is it?
Does anyone have a experience return of using SAN storage with VTL interface?
Regards,
Evan
