How to implement snapshots
(RPOs) by supporting more frequent recovery points. When properly implemented, snapshot data can be used to restore lost files or recover from more substantial data loss. Features like data deduplication are also appearing in snapshots to reduce disk storage requirements, allowing for many more snapshots and longer retention periods. Below are a series...

How to implement disk-to-disk backups
as backup targets. Storage space is finite, which can limit the allowable retention period for data. Data reduction technologies like data deduplication and delta differencing can dramatically extend the effective storage capacity. Also, indexing and search are can be valuable when rapid file organization and location are needed. Below are a series of best...

Use data reduction technologies to shrink the backup task Data reduction techniques like data deduplication, conventional compression and delta differencing to reduce the amount of data that must be backed up. Smaller backups will execute faster, resulting in a shorter backup... More... FAQ's
Data deduplication FAQ
Will you be able to achieve the huge data reduction ratios that data deduplication vendors are touting? In this FAQ guide, analyst Jerome Wendt answers the most common data deduplication questions he's hearing today. Jerome's answers are also available below as an MP3 file.
What are the drawbacks of using a virtual tape library (VTL) for data deduplication?
Other products like Avamar or Asigra have a software capability. And while these have a lot of play in smaller production environments, they have limited reach into enterprise environments where scale and performance requirements are really high.
Another potential drawback is that, with the... More...
