This library edited byMiniToolgives a general introduction to a kind of data processing and managing technique data deduplication.
What Is Data Deduplication?
In computing, data deduplication is a technology for eliminating duplicated versions of repeating data.

After applying the tech successfully, storage utilization will be improved.
It is a service available on bothNTFS and ReFSon Windows servers.
Duplicated portions of the dataset are saved once and (optionally) compressed for extra savings.

Data deduplication optimizes redundancies without compromising data integrity or fidelity.
Large datasets usually have lots of duplication that increases the costs of saving the data.
Data deduplication helps storage admins reduce costs that involve maintaining duplicated data.
The following are some examples that can generate duplications.
How Does Data Deduplication Work?
Those chunks are identified and saved during the process of analysis.
They are also compared to other chunks within existing data.
What is data replication?
How many data replication types are there?
How to perform data replication to protect from data loss in case of computer crashes?
That is distinct from modern approaches to data deduplication that can operate at the sub-block or segment level.
Types of Data Deduplication
There are several kinds of data deduplication.
