Disabling Dedupe
Running 7.5 SP1... If we had some users with dedupe enabled in their profile and we want to later disable it completely, is it just a matter of unchecking it from the profile? Will they need to run a complete backup again of everything to de-dededupe any files that were previously backed up or is this taken care of on the server end?
Failing To Restore User Data
Hello All, I am using Symantec DLO 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Backups are completing successfully but the challenge is restores are failing with the error: "Error Reading source file. Deduplication failed." I have tried restoring from the server, alternate computer, restore from the client, using "dlocommandu -emergencyrestore" but still failing to get the data restored. Please help and thanks in advance.
Transfer users to Dedupe enabled storage location and branch offices
We're currently using Backup Exec 2010 DLO option and plan to upgrade to DLO 7.5. I installed it on a separate server to test some of the new features and most importantly Deduplication which works pretty well. I would like to know if there is a way to transfer user data from the old storage location to a new dedupe enabled one, deduplicating the data in the process so it uses less space ? Moving the Network User Data Folder in the console seems to just copy the files without doing any dedup. If not I guess I should just install the new agent on my users computers and backup from start to the new dedupe enabled storage location. Also, we currently have 2 other storage locations in branch offices, one of which is across the atlantic ocean (bandwith is ok at 10Mbps but moderate latency). Can I just create the 2 shared folders (storage location and dedupe) on the branch office file server or is it better (necessary?) to install an administration server/dedupe server/database/maintenance server (or which of these) locally ? One note : DLO 7.5 is supposed to add support for Windows 8 but when you set it up to prompt for backup at log off, it still looks like the application has hung and users might force close it...
