Deduplication pools are the disk pools that are the storage destination for deduplicated backup data. NetBackup media servers or NetBackup clients deduplicate the backup data that is stored in a deduplication pool.

NetBackup deduplication disk pools are of type PureDisk.

NetBackup requires exclusive ownership of the disk resources that comprise the disk pool. If you share those resources with other users, NetBackup cannot manage disk pool capacity or storage lifecycle policies correctly.
