If you're already using DFSR, I know that DFS will report that for you. I have it report to me every night on large/duplicate files.
From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 8:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SIS Looking for thoughts and opinions on enabling this on server 08 and 08R2 for general file servers. Ive not done this, just thinking about doing it. Anyone done it and what was the outcome. Background. I am attending a meeting for our Community College which is being hosted by NetApp and they are bragging about dedup and all the benefits in data reduction. I dont think we can afford their system, but if I could get a reasonable reduction by using something we already have, Id use it. Also, anyone have a recommendation for a free or very low cost utl that would scan a drive and report on duplicate files. I know I can google for a util and will, but would also appreciate any words of wisdom from you folk. Thanks.
