we migrated our file server around 30 tb which was backed up using windows server file system agent to netapp FS , 

what will be the recommended way to protect the netapp FS , 

if i add the storage array and taking backup does it increase the storage utilization ? will the dedup work which was taken using with file server agent , 

or ndmp without storage array added will be better

Hi Ajal,

Good day!

If the backups are run in the policy associated with same DDB then you will have dedup work 

There are 2 ways to protect netapp file server. please refer the below documents

https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/netapp.html

https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/expert/getting_started_with_ndmp_agent.html

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/data_protection_for_nfs_exports_and_cifs_shares.html

You can go through docs and decide the approach that suits your infrastructure.
