Can anyone expend on this strategy? I've been running Veeam for a week and I'm not sure how to go about configuring this.5. Based off of the post below from Yizhar, I found the best way to handle dedupe was to carve up 2 big volumes. Volume 1 for a Hot Landing zone for recent backups (7 Days or so) and Volume 2 for long term archiving. The long term archive zone can be deduped via schedule to run 24/7 and use 50% of server ram. It should be able to dedup 8.4 TB per week using a rate of 50GB per hour. Dedup is much slower on .vbk's over 1 TB. By using this method, you don't have to break your backup jobs into smaller jobs and you will get global deduplication across VBK files. We have our backups jobs setup by Server OS.
Thanks
