You can set either the application or the local backup to do copy-only backups, which will prevent the log truncation that breaks the backup chain. I can ramble on more about this if you want. I have set this up in a few different places, using both EMC Avamar and Symantec (now Veritas again) Netbackup. Usually the onsite folks want to have a faster point of recovery, so they have hourly transaction logs or whatever they need. Then I have a backup application do a weekly full/daily incremental backup to my offsite backup system. Avamar in particular is pretty good on the bandwidth. It's prohibitively expensive if you're not already using it for all of your other backups. I've never used backup exec (outside of random demos at conventions) but DrBouvenstein's issue seems mind bogglingly awful. I don't think this is related specifically to DD, though. (Also, why the hell are we forcing storage appliances to be virtual tape libraries in 2015?) You shouldn't need free storage to hydrate out an entire VMDK just to restore a single file. All I do are backups. All day everyday. I administer the backups for ~50k servers and ~20k laptops. We primarily use netbackup, with a few random IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Commvault, and EMC Avamar environments. Most of the laptops are going through HP Connected Backup, which is absolute garbage. Working on replacing that with crashplan.
