Which statement about deduplication on SnapVault destinations is true?

• A. Deduplication synchronizes with the SnapVault schedule on the destination.
• B. Deduplication cannot synchronize with the SnapVault schedule.
• C. Deduplication has no impact on SnapVault operations.
• D. Deduplication eliminates all SnapVault baseline requirements.

Answer: (A)

Deduplication on a SnapVault destination is designed to work in concert with the SnapVault transfer schedule. This means you can configure deduplication on the destination to run in step with the SnapVault job, typically after the data has been transferred for a cycle. The result is that newly arrived data is deduplicated, maximizing space savings without adding contention to the transfer window. This alignment is why the statement is true: deduplication can synchronize with the SnapVault schedule on the destination, ensuring the dedupe process targets the data that’s just been replicated. In practice, SnapVault creates a backup on the destination according to its schedule, and dedup can be scheduled to run in the same window or immediately after, so you get consistent, up-to-date space savings. The other options don’t fit because dedup can be coordinated with SnapVault, it does have an impact on how data is stored and managed (and isn’t a no-op), and it doesn’t remove the need for a SnapVault baseline.
