Hi,
a) 1 TB deduplication store limit is not a hard limit, only a suggested maximum from VMware, mainly because of potential performance issues. I'm currently using 1.5 TB for each destination, whereas I'm using 2 destinations per vDR appliance. Currently I'm not seeing any performance issues and have still plenty of room.
b) You can easily deploy several (up to 10) vDR appliances and have even more place.
So, just go ahead and try vDR, its really doing a great job.
Except vDR is no longer a supported product, so we'd be talking about VDP.
VDP has HARD limits, there's no way around the sizing issues.
I have no idea how you managed the performance you talk about. We ran it in non-critical environments for a while, but even systems small VMs seemed to run backups for entire nights.
