disaster recovery deduplication folder

[mickelingon]

Hi
I have som thoughts about deduplication folders and disaster recovery.
If the backup exec 2010 server crash, can you set up a new one and create a dedup folder pointing to the old one and use the data?
If not, how do you protect your dedup data. Backing up the dedup storage folder under shadow copy component generate a lot of space.
We hav no secondary site or Caso.

Yes you can do that:
To add a deduplication storage folder
1 On the navigation bar, click Devices.
2 In the task pane, under Device Tasks, click Configure devices assistant.
3 On the ConfigureDevicesAssistant dialog box, under DeduplicationOption,
click Deduplication Storage Folder.
4 If the Deduplication Storage Folder Configuration dialog box appears, click
Add a Deduplication Storage Folder.
This step does not apply if this is the first deduplication storage folder. The
Deduplication Storage Folder Configuration dialog box appears only if a
deduplication storage folder already exists on another media server.
5 Complete the options on the General tab.
6 Complete the options on the Advanced tab.
7 On the Sharing tab, select the media servers that you want to use with this
deduplication storage folder.
8 Click OK.
9 Restart the Backup Exec services on the media servers that you selected in
step 7.

Hi

Does this apply if I only have one backup exec server?
You're talking about media servers like if I have a CASO which is not the case. I only have one backup server and can I reconnect to the dedup folder created on this if this crashes and you install a new one?
