How Staging Jobs Work with Deduplication

In a disk to disk to tape operation, you may specify a deduplication device group as the staging location, the final backup destination, or both, provided the same deduplication device group is not selected on both tabs.

• On the Staging Location tab, select the deduplication device group, enable staging and specify a staging policy.
• On the Destination tab, select a different deduplication device group and specify a purge policy. If you do not specify a purge policy, the default value of 4 weeks is inherited from deduplication device creation for full backups, and 2 weeks for incremental/differential backups.
• On the Schedule tab, set up the rotation or GFS schedule, if desired.
