No compression with Deduplication option? (Exception)
I recieved this error on our first Deduplication Option backup, software compression is set in the job options.
BackupThe job has been configured for either data encryption or software compression, or both. The job is also targeted to a device that is capable of data deduplication. Encryption and compression of the backup data can prevent much of the data from being deduplicated.
Is this an issue? I didn't read anywhere you can't have compression turned on on deduplicated sets.
You cannot use software compress and encryption with dedup because compressing or encrypting the data will render the deduplication process ineffective. However if you need to either compress or encrypt the data, you can enable compression and encryption in the dedup folder itself. See these documents
