Data Domain, Replication and Two Backup Applications
I'm not so sure that using features such as boost would limit your ability to backup to a single data domain appliance from multiple backup sources. If you're just dumping to the DD as a disk target via CIFS or NFS you create a directory (or directories) under /backup and mount the DD to whatever path you want the data to be sent to. Using boost adds an additional directory structure under /backup/ost where again, you just point your disk pools to a specific directory. I would imagine that as long as you point diffrerent backup applications to different directories, you should be fine, regardless of where the data originated.

If you use the DD as 'basic disk', NetBackup has no idea that the file system you are backing up to is a replicating appliance. Equally on the DD the NetBackup media server is just another CIFS or NFS client, and so could be one of many different backup applications.
If you start using OST (DD Boost) I suspect you may be more limited, e.g. if you want to use NetWorker and NetBackup at the same time. I don't know.
With NetBackup be aware of the licencing for using backup destinations that deduplicate or replicate. They were in the 'enterprise' tier. Depends possibly on how you licence NetBackup (capacity or traditional).

Quick question to all Data Domain experts...
Can you use a data domain appliance for two backup applications by carving out logical disk space and assigning it separately and replicating it to another appliance at DR site? Target site has same appliance with same capacity n same logical partitioning.
Thanks in advance n Happy Thanksgiving.
