20 Setting Up the Dell
™
DR Series System on Veeam | May 2014
Note about Advanced Settings: Between backup performance and deduplication savings, if overall space/storage
savings is the focus, it is recommended to choose the options in Step 12 for all of the backup jobs.
Note about Veeam deduplication: Normally Dell recommends turning off encryption, compression, and deduplication
in most backup software. However, with Veeam, Dell recommends enabling deduplication. This is because Veeam runs
deduplication for data block sizes 1MB or above and deduplication of these large block sizes does not heavily impact
DR Series duplication results. In addition, this reduces network bandwidth utilization when Veeam sends data to the
DR Series system, so it benefits the backup practice overall.
