36:1 ratio? I must not be reading this right…

You are reading it right, I provide Unitrends to my clients quite a bit and this is not uncommon at all. Just a very efficient byte-level deduplication engine with your dataset very deduplicatable. It’s byte-level so it’s far more efficient than file-level … very close to what Exagrid uses for their de-dupe technology.

I’m not sure exactly how the numbers translate, here is my Recovery712 that is backing up 6 windows vms, 3 linux vms and 2 windows physical servers. 1 Exchange, 2 SQL is in that mix as well. Currently at 124.05 as of yesterday.

Well for one it’s using block level deduplication, and for two you are in a good scenario because you’re backing up VMs which have a huge amount of redundant data in them. SQL is pretty deduplicatable as well.

Unitrends is just that awesome!! An extra serving of pixie dust today perhaps?

Here is mine on an Web/FTP server. Doesn’t seem right. 65073

Denis - How much redundant data do you have? Also, how many days of retention are you seeing in your environment? These two factors play a key part in deduplication ratios.

LOL. It’s one XP box that nothing really changes on. Just laughed when I saw that number. Said to myself…“I win!”

Whew! I was worried there for a second :slight_smile:

What?! You’re telling me I can’t have 65,000:1 dedup ratio? :slight_smile:
