How can I see the dedup data %

[Zahid_Haseeb]

Environment

Netbackup version =  7.5

OS version = win2008R2

I am able to take dedup backup for Exchange 2010. But dont able to see a big difference. Some time I feel that data is not deduplicating. I want to see the dedup %. is there any command ? (without NetBackup OpsCenter)

Activity moniter has a tab called  Deduplication , you can see the deduplication ratio for each job from activity moniter.

if you are using admin console.. make sure you select the coloum to see that..

Where are you expecting to see a difference? Dedupe percentage can also be seen in Job details.

What deduplication storage are you using?

[Zahid_Haseeb]

deduplication storage ??

[Nicolai]

What type of storage unit does the exchange backup go to.

for deduplicatrion to occour data must be send to a MSDP pool or a OST enabled device like Data Domain.

You can see MSDP dedupe rate in the GUI: Media and Device Management > Credentials > Storage Server.
Select Storage Server, Edit, Change

or Activity Monitor as per Ram's suggestion.

See Monitoring the MSDP deduplication rate:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO89020

PS: 
I am assuming this is MSDP:

 system call failed RDSM

Offcourse I am using MSDP pool :)

Thanks Mariaane. I want to see the dedup ratio for a particular backup. Suppose the backup size is 100GB due to dedup and without dedup it could be 150GB.

@Ram I am only able to see the job overview and details status tab under Activity Monitor

[RamNagalla]

Zahid,

you no need to double click on the job and open up the pop up..

in the activity moniter screen it self you will have the one tab along with job id, policy name, storage unit name, start time, end time.... etc...

[Marianne]

The TN that I have posted above also mentions the dedupe column. You will probably have to unhide it with right-click, columns, layout. You have not answered my question above : Where are you expecting to see a difference? Backup time? Backup size? Size of dedupe storage? Also check dedupe setting for this client. The default is media server dedupe. This means that the client will still transfer all data across the network.

[Zahid_Haseeb]

Backup size. I want to differentiate the backup size with and without dedup

[Marianne]

NBU will still catalog and report entire size but only store unique data.

That is how dedupe works.

As per my 1st reply - look in Job details for the specific job. You will see entries such as:

scanned: ######## KB, CR sent: #### KB, CR sent over FC: 0 KB, dedup: ##.# %, cache disabled

[Marianne]

Offcourse .....

Not a very nice statement. You are assuming that everybody knows you are using MSDP but you have never said so. Not everyone saw your previous post.
There are many third-party dedupe appliances out there that are used and supported by NBU.

If you don't tell us, don't expect anyone to assume.
As per Nicolai's excellent signature:

Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

[Zahid_Haseeb]

I highlighted the dedup ratio

[Marianne]

So.... no issue here? 

You query answered?
