Hello @mzator 

This is certainly possible. We would simply see it as having a new Subclient associated to the copy.

Thank you,

Colin thanks for the response.  I have conflicting information regarding reconfiguration impact to storage pools such as:

“This would likely be seen as net new data also impacting licensing as well until the old NDMP backups have aged off.  The storage pool will likely be affected by this as new baseline chunks will also be written.  You would need to confirm the customer has enough space for the library, DDB volume, and available license capacity by making this change.

Hello @mzator 

This is not conflicting. Even though the “Pseudo-Client” is the same the data being backed up is in a different format. Some of the CIFs data blocks may deduplicate with the NDMP data blocks, but I wouldn’t expect the ratio to be very good. Whatever blocks don’t match will be written as a new baseline. You will still have the NDMP jobs until they age out. Both can use the same Storage Pool.

Thank you,
Collin
