When trying to configure storage for dedupe on Windows server 2012 R2/4GB RAM/500GB HDD with Backup exec 2014, it gives an error message of 'unable to configure dedupe disk storage.....An error occurred while creating deduplicationdisk storage..
I will appreciate if solution is provided ASAP.
Thanks

If it does not, have a look @ the event viewer and adamm.log as to why the failure is.

Please carefully go through 'Requirements for the Deduplication Option' in
before attempting config again.

@ VJware, is this a command or what?
i will appreciate if you can simplify this.....thanks
On the volume where the creation of the deduplication disk storage folder fails, change the permissions as follows:
E:\>icacls E:\
E:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(F)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(M)
NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(M)
BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE)
And @ Marianne, do you mean if i didn't meet the minimum requirement for dedupe, i wouldn't be able to configure a dedupe storage on BE 2014.

So if E:\ is the volume where DeDupe is going to be configured, you run the following cmdlet from cmd
icacls E:\
