Working Deduplication files for Microsoft Windows 10

Please note:

10586 dedup is better on 10586 & lower, than
dedup running on 11082.

Thanks.

 

Oh, God, that was what I was looking for.

Thanks!

Speaking of server features hacked into Win 10....any possibility hyper-V passthrough from TP4 can be shoehorned in?

Hi Guys,

how do you update your Windows 10 machine with latest insider preview updates?
I have a version 10240 and right now there is 14295.
Windows Update doesn't work. Once I have tried to perform an upgrade from ISO file but also with an error.

 

what does optimization do and garbage collection and scrubbing?
and how to dededuplicate our volume?

 

Garbage collection gives you back the space if you delete a bunch of deduplicated files, free space isn't obvious when dealing with deduplication

To put it really simple, the scrubbing is a sort of chckdsk for deduplicated data.

The Web is plenty of tutorials, just google a bit.

 

Can someone extract the Windows server 2016 TP5 dedup package ?

 

you read my mind (not that it is needed ATM for me, but came looking just the same )

Hi,

Any chances for any tip how you make dedup working on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials ?
How about sharing your package with a word of comment?

Deduplication is the only real missing thing on WSE.

 

No problems at all for server 2012 R2 Essentials (and any other 2012 R2 flavor that lacks it), just use the W8.1 package to get it fully functional (including the GUI part on server manager)

Alternatively I suggest to use the almost unknown Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Essentials.


It includes the deduplication component by default.

 

Guys pay attention that server 2016 upgrades silently the version of deduplicated partitions.

In short if you connect a deduplicated disk to 2016, the deduplicated files wont be readable anymore by 2012/2012r2.

You need to undedupe them on 2016 and redupe on 2012[r2] to get them accessible again.

That could be a very time consuming task (I mean days for a 2TB partition)

 

one of my 4TB drives has almost 7TB of files, I wouldn't be able to un-dedupe them all. That would suck lol

 

I'm in the same boat. I was forced to go back to 2012R2 because a stupid 420K prog that I need absolutely and that crashes 2016.

The result is that now I'm running 2016 in hyper-V with the disks connected in passtrough to it because the deduplication update.

Can be understandable that a new (hopefully) better format is used.

What's less understandable is that there isn't a word about that anywhere, and there isn't any warning or explicit question about the upgrade.

What they had to do is what happen on VM format: A freaking question... "do you want to migrate to the new, not backward compatible, format?".

 

At GA it might be optional, with Preview builds who knows what is going on sometimes. I would hope MS uses a little common sense before then.

 

Can we use the dedup package from server 2016 TP5 on server 2012[R2] ?

 

Can you share the dedup package you have from build 14291 ?
and anyone one with the en-US dedup package fron TP5 please share ?

thanks.
