Description

Device

Indicates the device that you want to use as the default device for jobs. You can change this default for each job individually.

Client-side deduplication

Enables a remote computer that is configured as a Remote Agent for Deduplication to deduplicate data and then send only the unique data to the deduplication device that is selected in the Device field.

Note:

This option is available only if the Deduplication Option is installed and a deduplication device is selected in the Device field.

See About client-side deduplication.

Use media server deduplication

Enables the media server to deduplicate data. Media server deduplication reduces the size of backups, which reduces storage requirements. If the media server does not support deduplication, the data is deduplicated on an intelligent disk device, such as Symantec PureDisk or a device from a third-party vendor.

Note:

This option is available only if the Deduplication Option is installed and a deduplication device is selected in the Device field.

See About the Deduplication Option.

Media set

Indicates the media set that you want to be used as the default media set for jobs. You can change this default for each job individually.
