If I set client side deduplication (host properties-->master server-->client attributes-->Always use client side deduplication) and Policy is pointed to Advanced or basic disk, will client do the deduplication and send the data or a normal backup happens.

Data deduplication at the client will only happen if the destination storage unit is MSDP or PDDO (Puredisk).

So if you use advanced disk or basic disk a normal backup will occour.

Can we make a statement like Deduplication(Either media server or client side) concept work only when we have storage server of type PureDisk.

Yes - client side deduplication only works with Symantec deduplication solutions.

Other deduplication solution like Data Domain/BOOST (OST)  perform data deduplication at the media server level and not at the client.

It is better to say that Advanced Disk and Basic Disk are not deduplicated data pools. There are potentially a number of new or existing deduplication technologies.

PureDisk and MSDP are Symantec deduplication products.
