OPTDUP_ENCRYPTION

Allows a list of file name extensions to be
specified. Files in the backup stream that have
these extensions are given a single segment if
smaller than 16MB. Larger files are deduplicated
using the maximum 16MB segment size.

Example:

DONT_SEGMENT_TYPES = mp3,avi

This setting prevents NetBackup from analyzing
and managing segments within the file types
that do not deduplicate globally.

Any file extension

N/A

DONT_SEGMENT_TYPES

Determines the maximum bandwidth that is
allowed when backing up or restoring data
between the media server and the deduplication
pool. The value is specified in KBytes/second.

Reconfiguring the deduplication storage server and
storage paths

Only one deduplication storage path can exist on a media server. Therefore, you
cannot rerun the Storage Server Configuration Wizard. An activated NetBackup
Deduplication Engine rejects all configuration attempts that abandon its previously
defined storage and backup images. You must manually deactivate the engine
and physically delete the storage directory.

Two aspects to the configuration exist: the record of the deduplication storage in
the EMM database and the physical presence of the storage on disk (the populated
storage directory). Deleting the deduplication storage server does not alter the
contents of the storage on physical disk. To protect against inadvertent data loss,
NetBackup does not automatically delete the storage when you delete the storage
server.
