Unique Deduplication

And there comes the unique one. This classifies on all the three modes of deduplication. This comes using the Abhraya’s unique agentless backup methodology. Let us understand what is so unique here.

Abhraya picks up data from the source production system and brings it to the Abhraya client system. The deduplication happens at the Abhraya client. This ensures that no deduplication process takes any processor or memory of the source system. Of course, it does compression and encryption also here so it keeps it completely free from using production system’s resources. From here the deduplicated data goes to the Abhraya Server for final storage.

How I classify this in all three modes is because it does deduplication before it reaches the final backup destination and does not need any resources or extra disks to store databefore going for target based. For the source production system on the other side, there is no process happening there. Data goes out and gets deduplicated on some other system.

And finally, it does perform inline deduplication also as the target based deduplication happens before writing data on the disk. Unlike a typical target based deduplication which first writes the data and then reads and deletes duplicate blocks. Abhraya does it before writing and offers benefits of all the three types to its users.
