OK..then you still need Optimised Dedupe to duplicate to the second appliance.

job flow as follows:

1. Backup to primary dedupe.

2. Put in a stage to duplicate to tape on the primary appliance.

3. Put in a second stage to duplicate to the secondary appliance.

Thanks!

Hi,

Use Optimised Dedupe with the Enterprise Server Option licensed. This will allow you to duplicate from the 1 appliance to the other, and once done, duplicate from there to tape. Bear in mind it will rehydrate the data once it duplicates to tape.
