All, I have some remote W2K3 servers running client-side dedupe in order to 
save bandwidth. The problem is that they are memory constrained (to say the 
least: 2GB!). I haven't been able to find any recommendations about client-side 
dedupe and RAM, just that it's processor-intensive and may prolong the backup 
window. Is it possible to do dedupe with a 2GB Windows server? There's no 
chance to add RAM, BTW.
