Disable client-side deduplication (policy attribute)
The attribute appears only if the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option license is active.
The clients that are configured for client-side deduplication behave as follows when this attribute is enabled or disabled:
|
Enabled |
The clients do not deduplicate their own data and do not send their backup data directly to the storage server. The NetBackup clients send their data to a deduplication media server. That server deduplicates the data and then sends it to the storage server. |
|
Disabled |
The clients deduplicate their own data. They also send it directly to the storage server. Media server deduplication and data transport are bypassed. |
The property configures clients for client-side deduplication. The policy attribute overrides the property. The property is found on the General tab of the Client Attributes host properties.
