I am not sure if you have a single server BE setup or a CAS-MMS. Assuming single Backup Exec installation -
You will need to perform a full backup to get a baseline of how much data you are backing up. The check the total available space per OST applicance. This can give you a fair idea of how many backup sets can you retain. Also, as you have 2 OST devices and would be performing a Full/Incremental backups. I would not suggest you to go Device pool method for this. You could make 2 server groups to be backed up selerately on 2 OST devices and then duplicate this to the Tapes for longer or OffSite protection.

Hi Danees,
Will this strategy help?

To get the best advantage of Deduplication, I would suggest you to target Full and Incremental to the same target.
Also confirm from the 2012 HCL if your OST appliance is supported.
