Backup Exec 15 Client-Side Deduplication to EMC datadomain

[richreitenauer]

I am trying to get client-side deduplication working on Backup Exec 15 and a datadomain unit.  I have the OST installed on the media server and client server.  I enabled the job to use the client side deduplication - however the deduplication ratio's show blank, no warnings on the job and the server can communicate with the datadomain appliance.  Do I need any additional licenses on our Backup Exec server (Copy Server Config, Managed Server, Enterprise Server or Storage Provisioning option?) I have the vray edition and deduplication option is enabled.

No, it sounds like you have the right features and licenses, so I think you are good.

Client side dedupe works silently, so unless the job finishes with exceptions, it did what you asked.  Spooky, but silent? :)

Dedupe ratios in the UI will likely be only in the device properties, not for each job.  You can also check the tail of the adamm.log file for some stats.

Is the remote server connected directly to the DD device?
