DeDuplication and Encryption
I have read that Backup Exec 2010 does not allow deduplication of encrypted jobs. Can you, however, Encrypt a job that has already been deduplicated?
We would like to make D2D backups and then copy the job across the WAN to our DR site. I think the less traffic going across the wire the better.
You should not use software encryption in your job. Encrypted data dedup badly. Instead you should enable encryption in the dedup folder itself.

You should also not use software compression in your dedup job. Compresssed data also dedup badly. To enable compression in your dedup folder, see this document
