Thanks Watson..
I tried backing up the c:\temp\1.txt with both client side deduplication and media server deduplication to make sure it worked and that worked..
Basically these servers sitting at remote site and has only 2Meg link and over 1TB of data.. i have done the seeding and updated the pd.conf file on the client (fp_cahce_client_policy) to laod the fingerprints once the subsequent backup followed the seed run.. so that only data that has changed get transferred over the link..i had set the number of client streams to 2.. both servers are in pretty healthy states with 16GB (W2K8 64Bit) and 2GB (W2K3 32Bit) memory... reducing the number of streams on each client to 1 did the magic and backups are now running okay.. C: drive backup has completed took 1hr 30mins to backup 8GB over a 2meg link.. but looking at the stats: dedup was 95% which means the data was there but the cache hits is 0.0% whereas it should be more than 0% because thats the fp_cache_client_policy attribute does loads the fingerprints in the memory.. any idea?
