1. Is deduplication possible through agent windows?
2. Does it work at the file level?
3. Do I need storage that is suitable for deduplication or does any type of storage work?

thanks, I hope your answers
David.

You can do it with Quest DR Devices that have source side inline dedupe.

Hi David, and welcome to the community!

1,2. The dedup engine is built-in and is always on. You can check that by looking at job session log > check screenshot here.
3. You can leverage the Windows-based repository of Veeam B&R with built-in deduplication enabled, as a target for the agent. Additionally, you can utilize deduplication storage.

Thanks!
