USB disk as dedupe disk pool in Netbackup 7.5

Hi,

We are planning to setup a media server in one of our remote office and try to use media server deduplication option. Is it possible to configure USB external HDD as a nebackup storage unit and select pure disk as disk type?

  • You should also use a disk subsystem that prevent loss of data in case of single disk failures (RAID). Since dedupe is highly random write/read some caching will improve performance.
