Wanda, I tried deduping them and got < 50% savings. I expected much more, thinking that from one day to the next, a pst should be 99% the same. I suspect that outlook makes little updates all over the file which makes it hard for tsm to find duplicate chunks.
Since I only keep 3 versions, and they backup every day, I quickly realized it just isn't worth the extra server cycles. And also, as we know, deleting deduped versions is expensive too.
