About deduplication pools
Deduplication pools are the disk pools that are the storage destination for
deduplicated backup data. NetBackup media servers or NetBackup clients
deduplicate the backup data that is stored in a deduplication pool.
NetBackup deduplication disk pools are of type PureDisk.
NetBackup requires exclusive ownership of the disk resources that comprise the
diskpool. Ifyoushare thoseresources withother users,NetBackup cannotmanage
disk pool capacity or storage lifecycle policies correctly.
