DEDUPREQURIESBACKUP options on multiple storage pools instead of system wide.

The DEDUPREQUIRESBACKUP option is a system wide option, meaning that any deduplicated storage pools either have this set to no or yes(all or nothing). I would like to set this option based on the storage pool. Therefore each storage pool would have an option for DEDUPREQUIRESBACKUP.

    Thank you for submitting this requirement and we apologize for the delay in our response. There is not enough information for the team to fully understand the underlying problem that the proposed solution is trying to solve. Please provide more information about the business justification and use case of concern so the team is fully aware of your concerns for a more granular solution.
