Note: Dell recommends that you enable Active Full backups once a week. The active full backup produces a full backup of a VM just as if you are running the backup job for the first time. The active full backup resets the chain of increments: all subsequent increments use the latest active full backup as a new starting point. A previously used full backup file remains on disk until it is automatically deleted according to the backup retention policy. 18. On the Storage tab, do the following: a. Under Deduplication, select Enable inline data deduplication. b. Under Compression, set the Level to None. c. Under Storage optimizations, set Optimization to LOCAL target. Note: For Advanced Settings, between backup performance and deduplication savings, if overall space/storage savings is the focus, Dell recommends that you select the options for all of the backup jobs. Generally, Dell recommends turning off encryption, compression, and deduplication settings. However, with Veeam, Dell recommends that you enable deduplication. Veeam runs deduplication for data block sizes 512 KB 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. 26 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System on Veeam | April 2016
