Re: Poll: Observed vDP deduplication ratios

VDP version: 6.1.2.19

Number of backed up VMs: 25

Non-deduplicated size: 6,113.826 GiB

Deduplicated size: 3,128.997 GiB

Dedup ratio: 1.954/1

 

You might wonder why the compression ratio is so "low":
This certainly is not a very "average" environment. The major portion of storage is occupied by seismological time-series data already compressed by factors between 4:1 and 6:1.

I guess most of the compression happens with the "regular" Linux and Windows VMs in the backup set.

 

The lesson it should teach you: don't expect miracles if most of your data is already compressed.

For me a compression ration of almost 2:1 is pretty impressive already.
