Backup VM Job successful with exeception

[steven_man]

In backup exec 2012, backup VM job can be backed up to deduplication storage successfully but with exeception. The deduplication device has been disabled client side deduplication, is using server-side deduplication. I do not why the backup job warn that the client side deduplication is enabled for this job, but it could not be used. I cannot find any setting about client-side deduplicatio in the properties of backup job.

Do anyone know how to solve?

In BE 2012, by default the Deduplication storage is set for Client-side, some time even after it is disabled on the device, the job will still try client-side Deduplication resulting in giving exception in the job log. To resolve this, first set the job to use server-side and then disable the client-side option on the Deduplication storage under Devices.

You can never do client side deduplication of a VMWare VM because the actually process performing the data transfer part of the backup is the beremote.exe process on the Backup Server itself and we do not install a process on the ESX host. Hence for VMware jobs you should disable the use Client Side dedeup setting to avoid this message.

Hyper-V is slightly different in that the Hyper-V host does run a beremote process in it's own right.
