About the deduplication storage type
The deduplication storage type depends on the destination for the deduplicated data, as follows:
■The disk storage that is attached to a NetBackup media server.
If you use this destination, use this guide to plan, implement, configure, and manage deduplication and the storage. When you configure the storage server, select Media Server Deduplication Pool as the storage type.
■A PureDisk storage pool.
If you use a PureDisk storage pool, use the PureDisk documentation to plan, implement, configure, and manage the storage.
NetBackup deduplication requires that PureDisk be at release 6.6 or later. See the NetBackup PureDisk Getting Started Guide.
After you configure the storage, use this guide to configure backups and deduplication in NetBackup. When you configure the storage server, select PureDisk Deduplication Pool as the storage type.
You can use one or both of the destinations for NetBackup deduplication.
About the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option
NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option exists in the Symantec OpenStorage framework. A storage server writes data to the storage and reads data from the storage; the storage server must be a NetBackup media server. The storage server hosts the core components of deduplication. The storage server also deduplicates the backup data. It is known as a deduplication storage server.
