Client Side Dedupe - Multiple Servers; One Job?
Updated: 13 Feb 2012 | 1 comment
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have BackUp Exec 2010 R3 with dedupe and am trying to configure my jobs accordingly. I see the advantages of the client side dedupe and want to go that route for everything that I can but I have a few questions.
- Can you setup 1 job with multiple servers to be backed up with the client side dedupe option?
- If I set the agent to client side dedupe can it still be backed up to tape in another job (NOT a duplicate media job)?
- Can I backup an Exchange DAG with Client Side dedup? My guess is no but hoping yes.
When adding another server to my current job backing up one server to client side dedup it says:
You have chosen to use client-side deduplication to backup up your selections.
All resources selected for a backup job using client-side deduplication must come from the same server.

1. Not that I'm aware of,
1. Not that I'm aware of, no. And there is good reason for this too. Since BackupExec cannot multistream nor multiplex data, sending more concurrent streams will help speed up backups, by running them concurrently.
2. I do not see why not, you would just have a 2nd job with no dedupe selected. I do not see why you want to do this.
3. Yes you can.
Look at your selection list in text view, and verify that only one server is listed.
There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."
