    Client side dedup require more CPU cycles , so if your client has the enough CPU cycle go with client side dedup..it will reduce the amount of data that needs to travel over the network between the client and media server and jobs will get finish quicky

    if Client does not have more power then use Media server dedup... all data will travel from client to media server and then it will get deduplicated and comit to disk.

    so this is all depends on how infra is capable of and designed..

     

    if you disable in policy level it will not consider it host properties one

    Hi,

     

    Let me explain again.

     

    First you set the attribute in host properties

    1. Always use media server
      1. No matter what you tick on the policy this client will always use media server
    2. Prefer Client side
      1. It will use client side if you dont make any changes in the policy
      2. It will use media server if you tick "disable client side" in the policy
