Migrating from PureDisk to the NetBackup Media
Server Deduplication option
NetBackup cannot use the storage hardware while PureDisk uses it for storage.
Thestructure ofthe PureDiskstorageis differentthan thestructure ofthestorage
for integrated NetBackup deduplication. The disk systems cannot be used
simultaneously by both NetBackup and PureDisk. The PureDisk images on the
storage cannot be transferred to the deduplication storage server storage.
Therefore, to migrate from NetBackup PureDisk to the NetBackup Media Server
Deduplication Option, Symantec recommends that you age the PureDisk storage
pool backups until they expire.
