Hi,
I need your help with deduplication setup. We have Exchange server in data center and LTO-4 tape device in our offices. We are connected with 1 Gbit to the data center. Can I use deduplication to minimize traffic between data center and our offices? Backing up straight to the tape is around 30 MB/s, and to prevent shoeshining it should higher, But this is not possible over 1 Gbit network. The idea is to create deduplication store in our offices, connect it via iSCSI to the exchange server and use source side deduplication, this way the amount of data over network is minimized. But how can I get the data out of the store when doing object copy to the tape? I cannot access the store from different gateway. Are there other options?
Kind regards, Jan
