How Regular Backup Jobs Work with Deduplication

Deduplicating data during a backup job operates much like a normal backup job, except you must select a deduplication device group as the backup destination.

• Choose Deduplication backup from the Backup Manager Start tab.
• Specify local backup options as usual except for Compression and Encryption options. Deduplication does not support Compression and Encryption. If Arcserve Backup detects an encrypted session, deduplication is skipped and the job proceeds as a normal backup job. Refer to the section, Compression and Encryption with Deduplication for more information.
• Select a backup source.
• Choose a deduplication device as the backup destination for a regular backup job. For more information, see Deduplication Device Management.
• Set up a schedule, including GFS rotation, if desired. For more information, see GFS Rotation Jobs on Deduplication Devices.
• Specify a purge policy. For more information, see Considerations for Specifying Deduplication Device Copy and Purge Policies.
