MSDP Encryption using more storage space?

[NetRestore]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if enabling MSDP encryption (agent_crypt) increase storage consumption and lessen dedupe ratios?

It does not - its the unique fingerprint data that are encrypted. So encryption find place AFTER deduplication not before.
