I need a solution
We have Backup Exec 2010 R3. Our server uses dedupe and the dedupe folder is on a network storage device. We also duplicate the backups to external USB drives which are connected to the network storage device. Obviously dedupe dehydrates the data to the dedupe folder, then rehydrates to send to USB over the network. The total storage data sent and space used on the USB drive is 2TB. The backup jobs take almost a week from start to finish.
I'd like to do backups directly to the network storage device, then duplicated to the USB. No deduplication. This should be able to relieve our network, and the jobs should run faster over our network.
