Migrating from PureDisk to the NetBackup MSDP
Note:
NetBackup supports storage on NetBackup 5000 series appliances only.
NetBackup cannot use the storage hardware while PureDisk uses it for storage. The structure of the PureDisk storage is different than the structure of the storage for integrated NetBackup deduplication. The disk systems cannot be used simultaneously by both NetBackup and PureDisk. The PureDisk images on the storage cannot be transferred to the deduplication storage server storage.
Therefore, to replace a NetBackup 5000 series appliance with the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option, migrate the storage to a NetBackup .
