How can I estimate the size of deduplication store with data from both Windows and vmdk files. I tried "BEDAT" but it only Works on Windows files.

...the dedupe tool is what Symantec offer in order to estimate how much disk space is required/will be used on a dedupe folder.

If this doesn't cover Vmware, then there isn't much else. The appliance holds 5.5T of dedupe data, so maybe run the tool against the VMs themselves in Windows and try getting an estimate that way...

Thanks!
