Hello BackItUp,

Thank you for your post and I will be happy to answer your question.

You can definitely include the Acronis Universal Restore component to your BartPE media together with deduplication, if you are interested in that as well.

Please refer to this tutorial from our Knowledge Base, in case you will need to create the BartPE media in the future.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply Anton.

I did not even know that Deduplication was something that the company had to offer. I was going to buy Standalone Workstation, but now I will consider buying Advanced Workstation in order to be able to get Deduplication too.

Could you tell me, roughly, how much additional time using Deduplication adds to the whole process if I am using the BartPE CD to do a backup and verify immediately afterwards? If it adds a tremendous increase in time, it might not be worth the savings in diskspace. That's why I am asking. Thanks again.

Hello BackItUp,

Thank you for your question, I will be glad to assist you with it!

Deduplication shouldn't increase the time of backup creation (never did when we tested it and we don't have any reports regarding it from customers).I have contacted our Development Team for more details. They state that theoretically ASN machine can slow down a bit in case you have several additional resource-intensive tasks running. It may influence time of backup creation, but this occurred neither with small environments we tested it on, nor with the big ones, so there is no need to worry about it.

But still I would like to mention that deduplication is a source-intensive process and it has some limitations, so I would appreciate if you could kindly check this article for more details.

I'm also glad to inform you that you can test deduplication solution before purchasing - it is included to the demo version of Acronis Software. Feel free to find it here. All User's and Installation Guides are available here.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you.
