Symantec Corp. announced its deduplication strategy with plans to deliver on it over the next year as well as several updates and enhancements to its flagship backup and recovery solution NetBackup.

With data volumes increasing daily, companies need a better way to balance backup storage costs with business needs for rapid and reliable data recovery.
