NetBackup reserves 4 percent of the storage space for the deduplication database and transaction logs. Therefore, a storage full condition is triggered at a 96-percent threshold. If you use separate storage for the deduplication database, NetBackup still uses the 96-percent threshold to protect the data storage from any possible overload.
If your storage requirements exceed the capacity of a , you can use more than one media server deduplication node.
