I am running v6. When running a VM replication job across the WAN, with a backup proxy on both sides of the WAN, is the data compressed and deduplicated across the WAN? As documented below, it seems that there is a discrepancy between the FAQs and slides from a webinar about this.
FAQ
Q: Does deduplication work for replication, or for backup only?
A: No, because replicas are created in native format (uncompressed), deduplication is not applicable to them.

Slide 9 - Replication Architecture
Uses proxies servers at source and target sites
- Source proxy (VM or physical)
-- Compresses and deduplicates the data
- Target proxy (VM or physical)
-- Decompresses the data
I'd appreciate some clarification. Thanks!

Re: v6: replication across WAN: compress and dedupe?
Hi Patrick,
Actually both answers are correct let me clarify it further...
In case of replication, deduplication and compression only applies while VM data is in-flight between source and target site (to reduce network traffic). On the other hand, the replica VM itself is stored in native (uncompressed) format - just like the source VM. Hope this makes sense.
Thank you!
