Possible bug: incorrect deduplication and compression ratios
Hi,
I recently started testing the Acronis deduplication feature and found something seems wrong with the reported deduplication and compression ratios.
The test I used is setup to only backup two directories. One containing a data file, the other empty. Compression is turned off.
After running the first differential backup, the ratios reported in the vault view are:
Compression ratio: 1:1
Deduplication ratio: 1:1
Ratio: 1:1
The backed up data size is: 1.761GB and the occupied space size is: 1.780GB
Now I move the data file to the other directory and start a new differential backup.
The reported ratios in the vault view after this backup are:
Compression ratio: 1:1.9
Deduplication ratio: 1:2
Ratio: 1:1.9
The backed up data size now is: 3.522GB and the occupied space size is: 1.780GB
Since the data file was only moved between backups, it was not back upped a second time hence the deduplication ratio of 1:2. But since compression is turned off, the compression ratio should be 1:1 and not 1:1.9
Furthermore if I generate the vault statistics report, they do not mention any deduplication ratio at all only a compression ratio of 50% which should be the percentage for the deduplication ratio (1:2).
I've included the reports (renamed as .txt) for your convenience.
