Upgrading from any version before v1.6: Quest recommends that you update the Garbage Collection window to match the backup window. You might also consider setting Garbage Collection to start approximately 30 minutes before backups start, which discourages new deduplication processes from starting and overlapping with the backup window. Although the default Chunk-page size for Garbage Collection is now 256 MB — before v1.6, the default was 64 MB — and this size supports faster Garbage Collection counting, Quest recommends that you leave the Chunk-page size at its current setting.

Upgrading from v1.5.x or earlier: If you are upgrading from v1.5.x or earlier, although NetVault SmartDisk no longer supports using the same physical path for the Staging Path and the Store Path, it does not affect the upgrade process from an earlier version. If you are using the same physical path, Quest strongly recommends that you update your configuration to use different paths to ensure that NetVault SmartDisk functionality can be sustained long term.
