Dedup in Advanced Workstation

Thread needs solution

I've read thru the guides, but there is not much info on dedup. If I have 2 or more workstations with no fileserver, can I backup them to a common CIFS share on a NAS and have Acronis do source based dedup? I'm looking for a solution which will allow me to backup workstations with 200GB drives to a NAS, but not take up 200GB per backup on the NAS.

Thanks,
Tim

Hello Tim Porreca,

Thank you for posting and I will definitely help you with your question.

You can backup your workstation to a common share on a NAS and use a source based deduplication. However, depending on your data, it is hard to predict how much space you will save. The more data you have in common the more efficient the deduplication ratio will be.

I would recommend using our trial version with deduplication and see how well it performs in your environment.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
