Hi,

 

You push-install the RAWS agent to every VM...it won't work on an ESX host level.

Deduplication, in a simplistic explanation, eliminates duplicate information in and between files. If it backs up File A which exists elsewhere, it doesn't back it up a second time.

Check the links below for further information:

Thanks!
