Storeonce dedupe and compression

Post by adam900331 »

Hy.

I use a storeonce vsa as backup repository. I used this documentation for configuration: https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00023056enw

The Storeonce capacity is 10tb. Yesterday run the incremental backup and the job session result show:
Dedupe: 1.0x
Compression: 0.9x

I think the storeonce can 20x dedupe. Why do i see ,,low,, dedupe and compression value in Veeam session result? Thanks.

The deduplication is done outside of our product. Please check the StoreOnce UI for the resuction information.

The 2 values in Veeam represent the source side deduplication and compression values which are disabled by the best practices settings.

I disabled the inline deduplication during the job config. On The catalyst store i use high bandwidth mode. So in this case is it normal behaviour?

Where can i disable the source side compression?

Check page #29 of that HPE guide again. It should be already configured that your data is uncompressed by veeam before storing it. What i like in the way veeam do it is that when adding a supported or "known" dedup appliance all the right defaults are set automaticly.

Sry, but the 29 page is shown the add virtual machines step. What is the correct page? Thanks.
