+1Hello,
We have a spare netapp that we want to use as a commvault destination for backup.
We have try to use only the netapp deduplication/compression writing directly to the library but the result is only 1% saving, the backup are not encrypted so I was expecting something better. Anyone else has some experience trying to use it. Does commvault store the backup in disk library in a block format that is not compressable even if we are not using the commvault deduplication.
Thanks
Luc
+23It sounds like compression or deduplication is not truly disabled on the commvault side perhaps.
try this:
1. Log into the Command Center.
2. Navigate to 'Storage Resources' and select 'Libraries'.
3. Locate the specific library you want to modify.
4. Right-click on the library and select 'Properties'.
5. In the Properties dialog, go to the 'Settings' tab.
6. Look for the option related to 'Enable Software Compression' and uncheck it to disable compression.
7. Save the changes.
it would only apply to new backups going forward
