Which guide should be consulted to learn about the configuration and administration of NetBackup deduplication options?

Cohesity integrates with Veritas NetBackup primarily through the OpenStorage Technology (OST) plugin. This integration allows NetBackup to leverage Cohesity's advanced storage capabilities, including its space-efficient, global deduplication. The "Cohesity NetBackup OpenStorage Solutions Guide" is the official document that provides detailed instructions on how to install the Cohesity OST plugin, configure the Cohesity cluster as a storage server and disk pool within NetBackup, and manage backup policies. This guide is the definitive source for administering the deduplication features inherent in this integrated solution.

A. Cohesity NetBackup AdvancedDisk Storage Solutions Guide: This guide details a more basic integration method. AdvancedDisk does not utilize the OST API and therefore cannot leverage Cohesity's advanced features like source-side deduplication.

B. NetBackup Web UI Administrator’s Guide: This is a generic Veritas document for managing the NetBackup software itself. It lacks the specific details required to configure and administer the Cohesity-specific integration and its features.

C. Cohesity NetBackup Deduplication Guide: This specific document title does not exist in the official Cohesity documentation library. The information regarding deduplication in a NetBackup environment is contained within the OpenStorage Solutions Guide.
