Do I need to change my Backup Software? Currently I'm using Netbackup

it depends on the shop, it might be more cost effective to get a smaller Celerra (ns120) for DR site than replacing your backup application.

First question: How can I move my data? Only via network?

Yes, host based over the network is the only possibilty. The Celerra is using its own volume manager and a different file system than NTFS of your windows server.

Maybe a cifs backup and restore is an option, but this will also use the network.

Can I restore my NDMP backup on a Windows system? On our DR site we don't have any ndmp appliance (only a DataDomain VTL) and we've already tried to restore on a Celerra Virtual Machine but it's very very slow....

Normaly, restoring is only possible to the same type of machine, so a celerra backup to another celerra, or a netapp backup to another netapp. Because the format the vendors are using for writing on the tapes is different.

But it seems like there is such a possibility using Commvault, take a look here:

use some sort of host based replication solution that can replication files from Celerra to a Windows box. Look at Symantec's business continuity section for a list of products.

It's impossible for us to change Backup Software (we're using Netbackup since 2001)...

and our DR site is in Housing... each device hosted costs $$$$... any other suggestion?

Do you mean something like Replication Manager?

Currently between our primary site and DR site we've a 20 mbps in MPLS network. We've difficult to replicate Dedup data (with DataDomain)... I cannot imagine how replicate file server data not deduplicated...

then I would suggest to ask Veritas if they have a similar cross-platform restore as CommVault or plan to implement one

unless you use Celerra replicator which does block level copy, you will be replicating un-deduped data.

or get a small Celerra (NX4) at the DR site for restore and/or replication
