NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Overview of universal shares

The universal share feature provides data ingest into an existing NetBackup deduplication pool (MSDP) or a supported Cohesity appliance using an NFS or a CIFS (SMB) share.

Both universal shares and MSDP use deduplication and compression.

Space efficiency is achieved by storing this data directly into an existing NetBackup-based Media Server Deduplication Pool.

For more information about universal shares, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
