Hi Everyone!
I am looking into backing up Windows 2012 NTFS data deduplication volumes and in the documents I am seeing the following:
Regarding the Microsoft Windows 2012 NTFS data deduplication feature:
- NTFS deduplication volumes may be backed up to BasicDisk storage units only
Does this mean that when I backup the data, I can't send it to an MSDP pool?
Windows 2008 R2 Master Server
Windows 2008 R2 Media Servers
Netbackup 7.6.0.2
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes - Seems so.

I presume NTFS with deduplication using NBU 7.6 is in optimized form, meaning data is already deduplicated and there is no gain in deduplicating the data again in the MSDP pool. Can't say why the advanced disk isn't support.
