Backup Exec 15 backup-to-disk on windows 2012 deduplicated volume

papillonf
Not applicable

Im trying to use a windows 2012 depuplicated volume for backup-to-disk destination,  backup exec 2015 will give me a warning that the recovery might not be possible.  the point is to save space for my backup destination.   I do not have the symantec dedup option.  Why is the windows 2012 deduplication not possible for backup destination, looks like the only reason is to sell the dedup option from symantec...

One of the main reasons is -

If Windows DeDupe is enabled on the Disk Storage, then you CANNOT recover the local BE server itself using SDR.
