Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Use fully qualified domain names

Veritas recommends that you use fully qualified domain names for your NetBackup servers (and by extension, your deduplication servers). Fully qualified domain names can help to avoid host name resolution problems, especially if you use client-side deduplication.

Deduplication servers include the storage server and the load balancing servers (if any).
