NetBackup Deduplication to MSDP Savings - By Primary Servers

This report provides a view of deduplication savings for each Primary server. You can use this report to focus on the Primary servers not providing optimal deduplication in your environment.

How to use this report

To identify the primary server failing to provide optimal deduplication:

  1. Click the Deduplication Savings % column header to sort it in ascending order. Along with the least percentage savings, the servers providing least deduplication savings are filtered at the top under Primary Server column.

  2. Click the respective entries in the Total Deduplication Jobs column to drilldown and view the job summary and evaluate the associated policy for poor deduplication savings.

    Note:

    Since compressed files or files with net new changes, such as Oracle REDO log files are prone to poor deduplication savings, you must use a separate policy and assign a non-MSDP pool to save on their backup costs.
