Deduplication with Symantec Backup Exec 2010

The Deduplication Option in Symantec Backup Exec 2010 enables several capabilities that can greatly benefit Administrators looking to control storage growth. There are three different methods of deduplication that are available with the Deduplication Option. The first is Client Deduplication, where data is deduplicated at the source and sent to the media server in deduplicated form. The second is Media Server Deduplication, where data is deduplicated in-line, or as it arrives, at the media server. The third is Appliance Deduplication, where a third-party deduplication device handles all aspects of deduplication.
