How to achieve deduplication in DataProtector 8.0

[siddharth_]

Hello,

We are setting up the deduplication disk in DataProtector 8.0.

We heard about the 'StoreOnce' software for deduplication.

Questions:

1. How to configure deduplication disk in HP DataProtector?

2. Does it requires license?

3. Do we need to install 'StoreOnce'? And is it a licensed software?

P.S. This thread has been moved from Storage > General to Disk-Based Backup. - Hp forum moderator

I'm not an data protector expert at all.

But AFAIK the solution is hardware based, called StoreOnce. This Hard-/Software solution is emulating tape libraries and can do dedup. As an alternative the DP software can do the dedup job and store the processed data to the storage.

Have a look at StoreOnce B6200 and 6500 (or smaller single systems, just search HP web for StoreOnce.
