Configuring a Cloud Catalyst storage server as the source for optimized duplication

Starting from NetBackup 8.2, a Cloud Catalyst storage server is supported as the source for optimized duplication.

See Configuring a Cloud Catalyst storage server as the target for the deduplications from MSDP storage servers.

When you configure a storage lifecycle policy for the backup operation, you can select the storage unit that was created for the Cloud Catalyst storage server. The following table lists the version requirements for configuring source control or target control optimized duplication for Cloud Catalyst.
