As I understand this creates a sub cloned image of the original VHDX file you are cloning which in turn uses next to no space on the volume. However if I was then to move this file that I created within Windows on the LUN, in the same LUN just move the file to another folder. Do we still keep the storage efficiency that the "Copy-NAHostfile" cmdlet provides?</P><P></P><P>Cheers</P><P></P><P>James</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:07:36 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/quot-Copy-NAHostfile-quot-Efficiency/m-p/17478#M909 JAMES_BEESLEY 2025-06-05T06:07:36Z Re: "Copy-NAHostfile" Efficiency https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/quot-Copy-NAHostfile-quot-Efficiency/m-p/17483#M910 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi James,</P><P></P><P>Yes!&nbsp; You can move the file to another folder within the same LUN without losing your storage efficiency.</P><P></P><P>-Steven</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:18:15 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Microsoft-Virtualization-Discussions/quot-Copy-NAHostfile-quot-Efficiency/m-p/17483#M910 beam 2013-03-19T18:18:15Z
