We currently write to storage units on a Data Domain over BoostFS, but are considering migrating to the new Data Domain Boost Access Library method for tighter integration.  I found this article and I’m wondering what the impact would be and if it’s even applicable to our situation considering we aren’t truly using CIFS.Converting a Data Domain Disk Library to a Data Domain Boost Access Library (commvault.com)

Anyone have experience converting a library with existing data?

Converting from to DD Boost Access, will only improve the performance and the existsing data will still be available.

 

Below is an example of the functionality
