Deduplication on backu copy job repo?

[BTobbe]

Hi,

So we have a veeam setup with a windows server that backups locally, then we also have a offsite backup. We have deduplication on the main backup server but at the moment not on the replication server. Should we have it on both? Is there any issues that could be caused by this?:)

Do you mean Windows Data Deduplication feature? There're no requirements in this regard, however, our recommendations are to have deduplication enabled on a secondary storage, while having a primary storage that stores raw data. More details here.
