Client side deduplication with Oracle and Exchange

[Pechane]

Hi,

With Netbackup 7.6, can I use the Client-Side deduplication with a linux Oracle agent and a Microdoft Exchange 2010 agent ?

Thanks a lot.

Have a nice day.

According to the SCL both of these support client side de-dupe (O/S version dependant) - so there shouldn't be an issue - check here:

Thanks for your answer.

Accroding to the software compatibility list for Netbackup 7.6, Client-Side Deduplication is supported on :

• Windows 2008 R2
• Oracle Solaris x86

Does it mean that Client-Side Deduplication will work with every agent on these OS ?

For instance :

• Microsoft Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2
• Oracle 11 on Oracle Solaris x86

The agent itself makes no difference - the data gathered by the client during the backup whether file system or agent based gets de-duped by the client before being sent to the media server.
