Hi,
The purpose of deduplication is to eliminate duplication. In other words, if two clients have the same chunk of data, as much of the OS would be for instance, then only 1 copy would be stored. So you can't really ask such a question because server 1, 2, 3, 10000 might all have like data and it would be stored once.
In NetBackup (if you're using MSDP) you could see how much data was sent to the server, and how much was stored i.e the before and after size, but that figure does not imply that the stored size, is only used by the specific job/server. If another client had sent the same data and the resulting hash was the same, then it would also get a message saying sent x, stored y but clear Y is going to be shared.
Hope that helps.

As RiaanBadenhorst suggested its hard to determine how much data each client independently deduped.
WolfgangSwie you may try this - Find the backup size of the clients that you are looking for and multiply by the dedupe factor (factor for entire MSDP) and you can share that information if your need it or with you customer or groups. Not a break through suggestion :smileyhappy: ,but an option you can try.
