Configure Groups for Data Deduplication

When you create a deduplication device, Arcserve Backup adds it to a deduplication device group. However, for times when you need to reassign devices, rename, or delete existing groups, use Device Group Configuration. You can add a new (empty) group and assign a device to it later.

After groups are created, use Configure Deduplication Groups on the Device Manager properties screen to set deduplication group properties, such as the maximum number of streams, or optimization. Properties set here apply to device groups used in both the staging or destination phases of a backup job.
