Please help me with the next question
We installed Backup Exec 2010 R2
We created a folder for the dedup database and a 2 TB folder for dedup files (backup to disk)
Looking at the data growth at this moment we assume that the 2TB dedup folder could be too small.
Is it possible to move the dedup folder to other storage??
If so is there a procedure (best practices) fort his?
Please advice!!

Best Practices for BE 2010 Deduplication Option: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO21767
In that it is mentioned as Do not move the Storage Folder or the Database Folder or restore them to a different path or server. The computer name, drive letter, and folder name cannot change.

As per the article its not recommended to change the location still you
can try the below steps. I would suggest you to try it on your test machine.
1) Stop all the Backup Exec services.
2) Copy the dedup folder to a new drive on the same server.
3) Give the same drive letter to the new drive. (drive letter where the dedup folder was
initially created)
4) Restart all the services.
Please post the results.
