Deduplication Ratio Analysis
I am trying to interpret my deduplication ratio. I have a EMC Data Domain 670 device and running a backup with 3 Server 2008 R2 test machines. Currently I am getting a deduplication 9.26:1. My data domain shows pre-comp and post-comp, can that be interpretated as deduplication?
Thanks.
The more you run your dedupe job, the higher the dedupe ratio.
I'd suggest taking a look at the document on the Symantec site below which shows you how to get the most out of dedupe. Check the link below:

You might want to check out the MS hotfixes referenced on the Symantec TN below:
