Methodology: Inline vs. Post-Process Deduplication

POST-PROCESS Deduplication After Storing

The more processes, the more resource contention

− Copy to tape: Too slow to stream tape

− Recovery: Service level agreement predictability

− Replication: Poor time-to-disaster-recovery

− Deduplication: If interleaved with backup or restore

More administration to fight these issues

Deduplication Store

3x disk accesses to shared store

Other activities unimpeded − Predictable

− Simpler
