Moving Clients from a Full Deduplication Database to a New Deduplication Database

When you enable the horizontal scaling of deduplication databases (DDB), if a DDB becomes full, you can use the Move Clients to New DDB workflow to move the subclients of a client from the previous full DDB or horizontally scaled DDB having subclients from more than one data type to a new DDB created for their data type. For more information about the horizontal scaling of DDBs, see Media Management Configuration: Deduplication.
