I thought that my comment was pretty explicit that I was referring to DPs only. As for supportability I am pretty sure that there would not have been a test plan to test the interaction - ergo there would be no support for it. As far as I know, and having asked the question directly before this should not work although not tested it myself. Sent from Windows Mail From: Roland Janus <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 20 January 2014 14:32 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Not supported says it where? CM12: file based only, the exact same file twice is stored once only but for the library only. Server2012: Content based and for the whole volume, also works e.g. with VHDs. Use Dedup for example on the source folder of the packages… I use it also for the content library, it squeezes even more out of it. -R From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Montag, 20.

It would not be supported or recommended to implement dedupe on DPs Sent from Windows Mail From: Matt Wilkinson <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 20 January 2014 13:49 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Can this work on DPs to cut down on the amount of storage needed? Is it supported? _____________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System on behalf of Leeds College of Building.
