RE: data domain backups

We implemented Data Domain but the backup and restore times were terrible. The largest database is a 6.7TB DB that takes anywhere between 4 - 5 hrs for backup and 7-8 hrs to restore. Since this wasn't acceptable, we've implemented NetBackup in between with OST / Boost technology which puts the backup on to DataDomain. The backup times are now 2.5 hrs and restores are between 4-5 hrs max.

Data Domain backups work very well We've been using rman incrementally updated backups as described here:

We are able to do a full backup of a 1.2TB database in less than 30 minutes.

Hi. We have recently gone to EMC Data Domain for our rman backups. They seem to be working fine, and our restore validation also worked fine. I am just curious if anyone has run into any problems/gotchas with data domain.
