Backup deduplicated volume

Post by dmitryk8 »

Hi,

I'm backuping volume on physical server with agent and going to enable NTFS deduplication on this volume.
Do I need to start backup over or it is not necessary? Current backup scheme is forever forward incremental.
VBR 11.

Thanks.

Good day,

You can enable NTFS deduplication and run the same backup job.
But the first backup of this volume will have the size of a full backup of the entire disk (After deduplication).
