Client-side deduplication not working
Hello dears,
I have Backup Exec 16 FP2 installed. I created a deduplication storage locally on the BE server (on the E:\ drive; BE is installed on C:\ drive). I have a Hyper-V host which has 3 VMs on it. I installed the agent on this Hyper-V host and on the 3 VMs (for GRT purposes). Client-side deduplication is enabled in the deduplication storage properties and in the backup job. The backup job gives a warning that client-side dedupe could not be used therefore server-side dedupe was used instead. I restarted the BE services but same issue.
Any ideas?
PS: BE server's OS is Windows server 2008 R2 SP1, the Hyper-V host's OS is Windows server 2012 R2 and the VMs' OS is Windows server 2012 R2.
