Registering with Avamar for Backup and Restore

Avamar is backup and recovery server software that uses deduplication to eliminate redundant copies of
data, reducing the required storage space. For example, your EZ Media & Backup Center might have 100
email messages with the same 1 MB attachment. If all those emails are backed up, that same attachment
is backed up 100 times, requiring 100 MB of storage space. With Avamar and data deduplication, only one
copy of the attachment is actually stored, so 100 MB of storage is effectively reduced to 1 MB.
When you enable Avamar on your EZ Media, you are registering with an Avamar server. You
cannot back up and restore from your EZ Media. Backup and restore operations are executed
from the Avamar server.
