Networker 8.1, remote office Exchange 2013 backup to DataDomain
Has anyone expermitented doing remote backups of Exchange through a WAN with Networker NMM and DataDomain.
I´ve read that NMM can do source deduplication but I really have my doubts that its going to help us with our environment.
I have a DataDomain and a Networker 8,1 Server in our main Site. We need to backup several Exchange servers that are running in our remote offices and we have no additional tape libraries or servers on those location. We will like to run the backup from our Networker server with NMM (source deduplication) and store it in our DataDomain in the main site.
Has anyone done something similar? Will this kind of backup work through the WAN? Is there any other way we can backup our branch Exchange servers?

The source de-duplication will reduce the traffic over your network only for the subsequent the first backups can always tape a long time.
I would recommend you to place at least a standalone tape drive in each of your remote locations along with a storage node and send the data to the local tapes while maintaining the meta data on the centralized backup server.

Hi,
if u want to deploy a tape library in your remote office then u ll need an extra Storage node.
The best way might be to deploy a small DD on ur remote site and use clone controlled replication to your main site.
With DD Boost you can backup ur Exchange Servers directly to the DD.

Thanks for your answers!
I just came across some of the new announcements on DataDomain OS 5.5 and Networker 8.2.
Starting on these version DDboost over WANs is supported. Im not really sure how efficient it´s going to be but I guess I will have to give it a try and see if it works for the environment I described before.
