Managing NetBackup Virtual Appliance deduplication
You can set the deduplication parameters using the Settings> Deduplication menu in the NetBackup Virtual Appliance Shell Menu. Use this menu to show current values, display default values, tune the deduplication parameters, as well as other menu choices.
Use the Deduplication > Default command and the Deduplication > Show command to display the default values for each of the deduplication parameters and the current parameter values, respectively.
You can change the media server deduplication parameters using the Deduplication> Tune menu. Table: Deduplication > Tune fields shows the fields and their descriptions.
