You can set up a remote computer to allow backup data to be sent directly to an OpenStorage device or a deduplication storage folder. The remote computer must have the Remote Agent for Windows Systems installed on it. For direct access to a third-party OpenStorage device, the vendor plug-in for the device must also be installed. The appropriate plug-in for a Symantec PureDisk device is included in the Remote Agent for Windows Systems, so no additional plug-in is required.

Note: |
The option to configure a Remote Agent for Deduplication appears only if you have already configured an OpenStorage device or a deduplication storage folder. |
To configure a Remote Agent for Deduplication
-
In the task pane, under Device Tasks, click Configure devices assistant.
-
On the Configure Devices Assistant dialog box, click Remote Agent Deduplication.
-
If the Remote Agent Deduplication Configuration dialog box appears, click Add a Remote Agent for Deduplication.
This step does not apply if this is the first Remote Agent for Deduplication. The Remote Agent Deduplication Configuration dialog box appears only if a Remote Agent for Deduplication already exists.
-
On the Sharing tab, select each media server that you want to share this Remote Agent for Deduplication.
The Sharing tab appears only if you have the Backup Exec Central Admin Server Option or the SAN Shared Storage Option installed. You must also have more than one media server.
-
Restart the Backup Exec services on the media servers that you selected in step 6.
