Netbackup Deduplication

Is it possible to configure an external Disk storage or a  SAN mounted volume as a Deduplication storage just like we can configure a dedup storage folder in Backup Exec ?

  • Yes it is possible for SAN Mounted volume.

    You first need to configure it as a mount point on your media server, then configure this media server as storage server.

    Then configure disk poolusing this mount point & after that you can extract storage units from this diskpool.

  • Ok.. Thank you for your reply. So I cannot add a locally attached disk correct ?
