NetBackup 7.6.0.2 MSDP Deduplicatio Ratio

Hello,

I am testing the backup of VMWARE Environment and I would like to know the deduplication ration.

How can I see the information of deduplication and compress of ESX Cluster.

Thanks,

Boris

  • Hi,

     

    You can run the report in opscenter to show the deduplication rate per application type.

  • Hi,

    is there any way to get it without OPS Center. From the CLI?

  • Yes, but not a very simple way. You can troll the logs looking for the CR sent information and then workout the dedupe % using the backup size.

    V7.5 "Deduplication Ratio" "9.6" string

  • Although technically true, this shows only the dedupe ratio of a single job, so wouldn't give you any overall dedupe ratio.

    I think OpsCenter would be your best bet without doing some math (aggregating various backup jobs). It is free to install and use so you could always do so on a VM or something and remove it if not needed (although it's useful for many reasons).
