Hello,
Our Customer has a FAS3240 NetApp device used as his SAN.
The customer has CIFS shares as well as LUNS presented to Servers from the NetApp that need to be backed up,
All this Data sitting on the NetApp is allready Deduped by the Netapp,
Backup Exec 2014 has been installed and a LUN has been presented via FC from the NetApp to be used as the BE Dedup Storage Folder,
My Question here is what happens when the backup runs to the BE Dedup folder, as mentioned the data being backed up is allready deduped by the NetApp, will this data be rehydrated and then backed up to the BE Dedup folder?
We have considered just presenting a LUN to the BE server via FC and configuring it as normal basic disk storage and allowing the NetApp to do the Deduplication, the problem with this is that we cannot then use BE optimised duplication to replicate this data to the DR site.
Urgent Assistance required please
Thanks,
