Unlike other solutions, it provides an integrated and customizable deduplication offering to optimize any backup strategy with client deduplication (deduplicates data at the source or remote server), media server deduplication (deduplicates data at media server), or appliance deduplication (integrates with OpenStorage deduplication appliances).

X% full as would be expected, it's just this weird clash between the deduplication feature, Windows Explorer (or whatever the presentation layer is in core) and the dynamic VHDX. I know the disk subsystem can see all the data correctly as the disk is It's just completely bizarre but perfectly repeatable my colleague deliberately switched on dedupe on another dynamic vhdx and exactly the same thing happened- Windows Explorer knows the correct overall data size, but reports the size on disk as ridiculously I've got dedupe turned off temporarily, because we're trying to re-hydrate everything onto another iSCSI volume using RoboCopy (inelegant but functional) so we can at least Thanks for this- I think the scrubber does kick in, but it seems to have no effect. The core box never really runs a dedupjob without complaining that it doesn't have enough RAM (which is rubbish, 'cos it's a Server core box with 4GB RAM- identical to the physical box). A remote explorer session also mis-reports that well overĪ terabyte of data is stored in just a few GB on disk (I say remote explorer, because the remote storage tools know that there's 5.1TB of a 6TB disk taken so it hasn't fooled Windows entirely).ĭoes anyone know why the deduplication stats are so bad- could it be the lack of FS-VSS-Agent, or because the disk is a vhdx sat on some SAN storage? And any ideas as to why it's mis-reporting the actual size VS size on disk? Only the physical box had FS-VSS-Agent installed. Every time it tries to runīoth servers had FS-FileServer, FS-Data-Deduplication and FS-Resource-Manager roles installed. It did get up to 10GB freed up, but is now down to 0. The GUI server has good stats related to DeDupe, and backups up with our BackupExec agent.

vhdx on another chunk of SAN storage.īoth have DeDupe turned on. Guest, server core, with the guest running off one chunk of SAN storage and a CIFS share as a SCSI attached. We have 2 x Server 2012 ( not R2) servers. I'd be really grateful if someone could provide a definitive answer to this, as frankly it's driving me loopy.
