Hi Bill! Just out of curiosity, why do you exclude large files from dedup? When for example a large PST file changes, probably only a small portion of the file changes, so the rest of the file should be 'deduplicatable', right? Kind regards, Eric van Loon

On a server for windows systems, I am getting 3 to 1 savings. The 'q stg f=d' command shows the savings - Duplicate Data Not Stored: 77,638 G (67%) I exclude pst files and any other file larger than 1 GB from dedup. On another server for linux, solaris, mac clients, the savings are - Duplicate Data Not Stored: 26,558 G (58%) I also exclude > 1 GB files and the oracle/rman backups.

We're using IBM's ProtecTier for our TSM (5.5) primary pools and only see about a 4 to 1 ratio. This is less than half of what IBM was projecting for us. We have roughly 400 clients (mostly Windows servers) totalling about 135TB of data. Biggest individual uses are Exchange and SQL Dumps. Just wondering what others might be getting for other appliances or with TSM v6?
