Disabling MSDP client-side deduplication for a client

You can remove a client from the list of clients that deduplicate their own data. If you do so, a deduplication server backs up the client and deduplicates the data.

To disable MSDP client deduplication for a client

  1. Open the web UI.
  2. On the left, click Host > Host properties.
  3. Select the primary server.
  4. If necessary, click Connect. Then click Edit primary server.
  5. Click Client attributes.
  6. Select the client that deduplicates its own data.
  7. From the Deduplication list, select Always use the media server.
  8. Click Save.
