MediaAgent Support
Data Domain Boost Client can be configured using MediaAgents in Linux and Windows operating systems (64-bit).
Feature Support
- The Data Domain Boost Client supports all the operations available in a Disk Library.
Notes
- One mount path per library is supported.
- Move mount path is not supported.
- As the options for deduplication and data encryption are provided in the device, these options are not available in the Storage Policy Copy associated with a Data Domain Boost library.

- Auxiliary copy uses the DD Boost File Copy API to copy data. (Auxiliary copy to another Data Domain, tape and/or disk media is supported.)
- Synthetic full backups uses the DD Boost Copy / Clone APIs to copy data without reading data back to the MediaAgent.
- Data multiplexing is not supported and should not be enabled.
- Inline Copies and Parallel copies are not supported.
