Which statement is true regarding client-side and server-side deduplication?
A.
Client-side deduplication only works when there is a Deduplication Cache configured on the server.
B.
Client-side deduplication generally eliminates the deduplication workload on the server for that particular client workload.
C.
Client-side deduplication only eliminates the deduplication workload on the server for that workload when a Deduplication Cache is configured on the client.
D.
Server-side deduplication uses the Deduplication Cache to generate a hash code to be sent to the client, in order to run the client-side deduplication
According to the IBM Spectrum Protect documentation1, one statement that is true regarding client-side and server-side deduplication is B. Client-side deduplication generally eliminates the deduplication workload on the server for that particular client workload. This statement means that when client-side deduplication is enabled, the backup-archive client removes redundant data before sending it to the server, which reduces the amount of data that needs to be processed by the server.
