Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Disabling MSDP client-side deduplication for a client

You can remove a client from the list of clients that deduplicate their own data. If you do so, a deduplication server backs up the client and deduplicates the data.

To disable MSDP client deduplication for a client

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers.
  2. In the details pane, select the master server.
  3. On the Actions menu, select Properties.
  4. On the Host Properties Client Attributes General tab, select the client that deduplicates its own data.
  5. In the Deduplication Location drop-down list, select Always use the media server.
  6. Click OK.
