Having put in several Avamar solutions in the past few months, I wanted to share some comments and statistics from real customer backup environments that are now happily globally and source de-duplicating.

Below are comments from our most recent Avamar victory.

"At this point I have calculated an approximate 72% de-duplication rate for all servers. Our backup windows for daily backups has shrunk from 8 hours to 1.5 hours. Our weekend backup has shrunk from 48 hours to 1.5 hours. "
