    FAQ's
    You touched on restores from forward referencing and backward referencing deduplication, but what about restores from inline or post-process deduplication?
    deduplication, one of the pros is that when it's done, it's done. So when your data is written into the device, dedupe is accomplished and you keep on trucking. You may have less upfront performance compared to some of the post-process vendors because you're doing a lot more work as you're doing inline... More...
    When does data deduplication using backup software on the host make sense?
    to consider. If you're bandwidth constrained and are trying to back up data and you have large amounts of data coming over the network, then using data deduplication at the host makes a lot of sense. That can dramatically free up the amount of bandwidth that you have.

    It is important that the host can sustain... More...

    Are there any instances where data deduplication will not provide any benefits? Superior benefits?
    a lot of new images being created, then you'll see very little benefit from data deduplication. In that case, you're better off just running differential or incremental backups.

    As far as areas in which data deduplication can provide superior benefits, databases have a lot of redundant data and... More...
