Maybe this was (secretly) fixed with R2 which was after this article? Without an current issue, there is still savings to be expected.

Januar 2014 15:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] Server 2012 Deduplication Roland On the SOURCE folder, yes - that would be a good plan, as would the deduplication of VHDs both of which is not only supported but exceedingly good practice. 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.

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.
