He is saving about 20% by dedupe and about 40% by compression, both on FAS.</P><P>The use case is to save the expensive dedupe license in NBU.</P><P></P><P>Are there any tunings to maximize the dedupe space savings? Like adjusting the fragment size (it is already divideable by 4KB) on the NetBackup storage pool?</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P><P></P><P>Christoph</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:10:56 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/How-to-optimize-NBU-to-maximize-NetApp-dedupe-space-savings/m-p/49214#M6203 cschnidr 2025-06-05T06:10:56Z How to optimize NBU to maximize NetApp dedupe space savings https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/How-to-optimize-NBU-to-maximize-NetApp-dedupe-space-savings/m-p/49219#M6204 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>To give feedback on my investigations.
