deduplication works on different policies of same client?
Hi All, Platform: NBU applicance 2.6.0.2, master+media server + MSDP I am confused about deduplication and accelerator. Assume I have 2 policies, A and B. Both policy are the same. Policy type VMware, backing up only 1 VM and is the same VM. Accelerator enabled. To MDSP pool. Assume there is a successful full backup done by policy A. If I now run a manual full backup using policy B, will it reference to the full backup at policy A for deduplication and accelerator? Another question about san and nbd. Assume I use policy A and performed a successful "nbd" full backup. If I now enforce policy A to use "san" only, will deduplication and accelerator works as usual? Please kindly help! thanks a lot!Solved1.5KViews0likes7Comments
VMware Backup then replication & restoration to another NBU Domain
We have Two 5230 Appliance at Production site as one Master and one Media role. Similarly two at DR site with one Master, one Media role. We want to setup AIR between Production and DR between appliance. Then we want to take the backup of Esxi server VM's and replicate to the DR site and wanted to restore to DR site on another Esxi server. Will it be possible and how? Please share your precious adives. Regards583Views0likes1Comment

N5220 Media Server to be used for VADP backup?
Hi All I have read somewhere that the backup host for VADP have to be a windows master or media server. Is that true? My customer have bought a N5220 appliance. Since it is using a form of linux, will I be able to use the N5220 as the backup host for VADP? Thanks! ckSolved823Views0likes2Comments
