[SOLVED] Check if Acronis Agent has the Deduplication feature

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

as from the title: for the deduplication to be active, the Acronis agent needs to have the Deduplication plugin installed.

reviewing the software components, I don't see any deduplication components.

How can I check if a client has the deduplication feature installed?

Thanks

Hi, Deduplication functionality is included to any Acronis Backup Advanced license (as well as in trial mode). It works when you perform backup to a Centralized Managed vault.
You have to install Acronis Storage Node, add Agent to Acronis Management Server and create a Centralized Vault with deduplication. Installing a separate Deduplication plugin is not required.

Got it, thanks

p.s. my question was due to the fact that the Acronis B&R 11 Manual explicitly mentiones the deduplication component:

http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ABR11/index.html#141…

Select the Agent for Windows (AcronisAgentWindows.msi) and Agent Core (AcronisAgentCore.msi) check boxes.
If you are installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Deduplication, select the Deduplication (AcronisDeduplication.msi) check box.
If you are installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Universal Restore, select the Universal Restore (AcronisUniversalRestore.msi) check box.

I guess that the 11.5 version includes the deduplication in the Windows agent component.

Thanks
