Single Instance Store Support

Question

I can't find info on this anywhere, not even in the 7.4 notes. Does Networker support 2003 Storage Server's Single Instance Store (SIS) technology? I know the networker client will still backup the files, but does it make use of the SIS Backup API so that it only backs up what it needs? Thx, J.

I have nto heard about this. I don't think NW supports this.

In my last tests backing up a Windows RIS server we found that Networker was unable to handle files from a Single Instance Store. If I remember correctly Networker did not backup any link files.

I don't think you will see that utilized until Avamar is not integrated with NW, but I would suggest to check with support to see what is the current state with RFE for such support.
