Hi Team,

I have a query on how does Deduplication at the Storage Policy compare with setting Deduplication at Subclient level ?

I have to set a mediaagent partition while enabling Deduplication while creating a storage policy.

When choosing the same storage policy at the subclient level, I could see Enable deduplication Tab in properties to be selected by default as “on client”. Shouldn’t it be “on media agent”?

How does it differentiate from each other?

signature generation run on the client by default and comparing signatures on the Media Agent.
