Configuration for Microsoft Data Deduplication file system backups
For NetBackup to do an optimized backup of Microsoft Data Deduplication file systems, specific Windows software must be installed and configured, as follows:
Microsoft Server for NFS must be installed on the NetBackup media server. Use Windows Server Manager to add the role. Enable the NFS services. (By default, the NFS services are not enabled.)
Microsoft Client for NFS must be installed on the Windows host that is to be backed up. Use Windows Server Manager to add the role. Without Client for NFS, restores cannot be performed.
The Deduplication role must be installed on the Windows host that is to be backed up by using the Windows Server Manager interface.
Also, ensure that the NetBackup Client Service is configured to run as Administrator. If not, restores from the optimized backups fail.
