Syntehtic Backup Incremental Cannot use DeDuplicated Storage
I'm just beggining to use dedupe in testing on BUE2014 and I've not really used it prior.
Basic testing of a Full+Incremental job to dedupe storage shows that both can use the same storage device ...
If you are using a disk storage, instead of a dedup folder, then the full and incrementals can be on the same disk storage. In fact, this is the recommended configuration.
Note that the synthetic view that Colin described earlier is not the same as what you get when you do a true image backup which allows you do to synthetic backups. When you do a restore from a true image backup, deleted files are not restored, whereas restoring from the synthetic view will restore deleted files because it is the traditional restore.
