True Global Deduplication
True Global Deduplication eliminates redundant or duplicate data by performing incremental block-level
backups of the machines.
The typical disk layout of a server consists of the operating system, application, and data. In most
environments, the administrators often use a common version of the server and desktop operating
system across multiple systems for effective deployment and management. When backup is performed at
the block-level across multiple machines, it provides a more granular view of what is in the backup and
what is not, irrespective of the source. This data includes the operating system, the applications, and the
application data across the environment.

Encryption
Your DL1300 provides encryption to protect backups and data-at-rest from unauthorized access and use,
ensuring data privacy. The data can be accessed and decrypted using the encryption key. Encryption is
performed inline on snapshot data, at line speeds without impacting performance.

Dell DL1300 Core
The Core is the central component of the DL1300 deployment architecture. The Core stores and
manages machine backups and provides services for backup, recovery, retention, replication, archival,
and management. The Core is a self-contained network, addressable computer that runs a 64-bit version
of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation and Standard operating systems. The appliance
performs target-based inline compression, encryption, and data deduplication of the data received from
the agent. The Core then stores the snapshot backups in the repository, which resides on the appliance.
Cores are paired for replication.
The repository resides on internal storage within the Core. The Core is managed by accessing the
following URL from a JavaScript enabled web browser: https://CORENAME:8006/apprecovery/admin.
