Your customer wants to replicate backup data from branch offices to a primary data center where
an HP StoreOnce 4430 Backup System using HP StoreOnce Catalyst is located. The main backup
application is HP Data Protector 7.01. The file and application servers have Windows 2003,
Windows 2008, and SUSE Linux 9 and 10 installed. The file and application servers are a mixture
of 32 and 64 bit Windows and Linux operating systems. As a long-term strategy, the customer
wants to migrate all services to the primary data center. No additional hardware can be purchased
for the branch offices, and complexity should be minimized.
Which deduplication type is optimal for this customer?

A.
Source-side

B.
Application-side

C.
Target-side

D.
Server-side

Explanation:

Target-side NOT: “Target-side Deduplication can be used for conventional B2D environments
where full bandwidth links are used between the media server and the Deduplicated Data Store.”
Application-side NOT exist.
Source-side NOT: Limited agents for OS to use Source-side. 32bits not compatible. “Note that the
backed up system must support deduplication (64-bit Windows systems or 64-bit Linux systems
only, for details, see the support matrices).”
Server-side: “Note that the Media Agent client must support deduplication (64-bit Windows
systems or 64-bit Linux systems only, for details, see the support matrices). Server-side
deduplication enables you to deduplicate data from clients on which deduplication is not supported
locally.”
