NetBackup for VMware with deduplication

For a VMware backup to a deduplication storage unit, select the Enable file recovery from VM backup option on the VMware policy tab. This option provides the best deduplication rates. Without the Enable file recovery from VM backup option, the result is a lower rate of deduplication.

More information is available on the VMware options.

See Backup options on the VMware tab.
