Sounds to me that if x messages exist in the store and y messages are duplicates, then the ratio can be expressed as a percentage of messages that are singly stored.
Note that the number of bytes saved is not included in the calculation, hence the result says nothing about the number of bytes saved. I suppose you are supposed to assume that all the dups are copies of forwarded jokes, MP3 and other large attachments, rather than 500 copies of "To the loser who stole my pen, please return it, ASAP!" --Gary -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hanji [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 2:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: SIS and English First, cool subject :-) Ex5.5, perfmon on MSexchangeIS private. I look at the "Single Instance Storage Ratio" counter and wonder: Does the word "ratio" means like the English "ratio" word, or it means actually how much data I save because I am using SIS? Idiot Question? Look at :Q160178 ============================================================================ ======== Single Instance Ratio: The ratio between the total number of message references and the total number of messages stored in the information store. This ratio indicates the amount of storage saved by single instance storage. ============================================================================ ========= The first sentence talks about ratio, which means some kind of mathematical relation. The second sentence talks about a permanent number - "amount of storage".
