Hi Wanda,
I've had very good dedup savings with PSTs in general. I've deployed
client side deduplication across all remote sites, and I wouldn't have had
backups complete if it wasn't for deduplication. What used to take upwards of 3
or 4 days to backup is now complete in a few hours.
PST's are a nightmare for more organizations, and this solution proved
useful to us for the time being. With is a summary from a heavy load remote
site. Last I checked when I was doing the initial testing (last year) that
server alone had over 200 pst change on a daily basis with most over 5GB and
upwards of 20GB.
You would need a beefy tsm server to handle the overhead. For my data,
as of last week I have 17TB in de duplicated savings across the storage pools.
Hope that helps,
