Setting up the NetApp Storage for the Destination Storage Volume
You can use the NetApp storage for the destination storage in which Catalogic DPX stores your backup data. Before setting up the NetApp storage, determine volume sizes of the storage. That is, you must account for the size of the base backup, the rate of change of the source nodes, the number of retention days, and spare space requirements.

Click the Space Settings tab of the Create Volume dialog. If the Enable deduplication check box is available, select Enable deduplication. Select None for Space Guarantee.
Click Create to add the new volume.
