Deduplication when using SQL Server backup compression
A quick question about using NetBackup with compressed SQL Server backups. Our backups infrastructure consists of NetBackup v7.6 and NetBackup 5230 appliances. Our SQL server estate is a mixture of SQL Server versions 2005-2012 on Windows 2003-2012. We've noticed that the deduplication ratio (as reported by backup jobs in Netbackup Activity Monitor) for compressed SQL backups is 0% (we experimented with the NetBackup SQL Agent and alsostandard flat file backups). Now we weren't expecting to get much deduplication out of a compressed SQL Server backup - but it was a suprise to get nothing at all. Previous tests performed on other deduplication platforms(Exagrid and Windows native 2012 deduplication) showed that a noticeable (albeit muchlower rate compared with uncompressed backups)deduplication level of about4:1 was possible withcompressed SQL Server backups. So my question is - is this a configuration issue on our NetBackup infrastructure - or is there a technical\designreason why thededuplication of compressed SQL Server backups is not available inNetBackup?
