Hello Everyone !
We are running a Windows 2012R2 File Server on site A. The server has deduplication enabled on the share and we do replicate the content of this share to a Windows 2012R2 Server on site B. Both servers are connected via a VPN over WAN.
The constellation is just done to have a offsite backup of the data from site A at site B.
My question is what kind of data will be transferred from site A to site B over the WAN:
- quantity as optimized by deduplication + RDC
- quantity as deduplication is not running + RDC
RDC is doing compression already to reduce band width but I would like to know if the replication process is able to utilize the optimization done by deduplication additional so the real transferred data volume over the WAN is “compressed” by RDC + deduplication.
Looking forward to some help.
