    ...if you had another server with disk presented from the HP D2D that was running BE, you could invoke the CASO option and use optimized dedupe. This would allow you to duplicate the data from the appliance to the D2D.

    It's not possible with 1 server as you can only have 1 dedupe folder present on a media server.

    Thanks!

    This will work fine.  In fact better than BackupExec's native dedupe.  Set it up as a VTL, CIFS share.  Though not sure if it will work as an OST device.  (I don't see why not)
