Netbackup Deduplication and Front End Terabyte (FETB)
Hi,
I am hoping for some guidance in the area of Symantec calculating its (Capacity Licensing on FETB - Front End Terabyte) when data is initially deduplicated to disk and then backing up the data...
Calculation is based on the initial "FULL" backup of each client.
This is why is is called 'Front End TB'. The amount of data on all clients that need to be protected.
In other words, before the data hits any backup device.
So, 500 GB on Client A
500 GB on Client B
will need 1TB Capacity license.
