Client Side Dedupe vs Server Side Dedup questions
I have been using dedupe for quite a while and many of the jobs say they couldn't use client side dedupe but now most do. I backup over a WAN and I would rather the jobs ran quicker more so than saving space on the dedupe folder. Many of them are virtualized and only do the traditional backing up. Which one would be faster and what would be best practice?
Upgrade to 2012 will be later this spring.
By doing server-side dedup, you would be sending the raw data across your WAN link rather than just the changed data blocks and this will increase the load on your WAN link.
