Simply put, data deduplication is the ability of a software application or an appliance to compare blocks of data being written to disk with data blocks that currently reside on that disk. When duplicate data is found, it gets replaced by a pointer to the original data, removing or deduplicating redundant blocks. In this way, data deduplication helps you:
Protect your data better
Recover lost files more quickly
