deduplication question


just discovered feature , have questions. new , limited understanding how works in analyzes file @ block level , if block same dark magic , files same matching block share one.

having discussion people saying believe when scanning happens copy's universal data chunks to hidden folder on drive , shares that.

the conversation changed happens if happens folder?

can repaired copying hidden folder backup or need restore whole drive from backup , previous version still work properly?

from disaster recovery point down side this?

hi sgtwtf22,

for deduplication data, is compressed , placed chunk store located in hidden folder @ root of volume called system volume information, or “svi folder”. normal file replaced small reparse point, has pointer map of data streams , chunks required “rehydrate” file , serve when requested.

for repair function, a weekly scrubbing job inspects event log logged corruptions , fixes data chunks alternate copies if exist. there optional deep scrub job available walk through entire data set, looking corruptions , tries fix them

please refer blog more details deduplication
