Viewing Deduplication Statistics and Reports In Command View VLS, you can view statistics on the deduplication process by summary, backup report, cartridge report, or system capacity. Deduplication Summary The Deduplication Summary displays a graph depicting the storage savings achieved with data that has been fully deduplicated. 1. Select the System tab. 2. Select Chassis on the navigation tree to expand it. 3. Select Deduplication. The deduplication summary displays. In the graph displayed, the logical data is the uncompressed physical size of all user data that has fully deduplicated; the used capacity is the actual physical storage space consumed by the original data after it has been both compressed (if enabled) and fully deduplicated. Deduplication Backup Report The backup report provides information on the deduplication of your backup jobs. 1. Select Backup Report from the navigation tree or from the task bar of the Deduplication Summary screen. The backup report options display. 2. Unselect any agents, backup types, or states you want to exclude from the report. By default, all supported and enabled backup jobs are selected and display in the report. 3. Select View Backups. The screen displays a list of backup jobs meeting the set criteria and includes the following information: • State - the state of the backup job (see below) • Backup Name • Policy • Backup Time • Type • Dedupe Ratio Estimate - the estimated deduplication ratio (based on the Logical Size divided by Physical Size Estimate) 4. From the results list, select a backup name to see the backup statistics for that particular job. The backup information includes a graph depicting the original data size (shown as zero prior to the deduplication), the deduplicated size, and the unprocessed data. In the Cartridge Details, select a barcode to see its cartridge report. The deduplication reports show the following states: Waiting for Next Backup - the backup has nothing to difference against and is therefore waiting for a new backup. Incr/diff backups difference against the new full backup, not the old full backup. Delta-diff in Process - the backup has identified another version of itself to difference against and is now running differencing to identify the duplicate data between the two versions. With multi-stream backups, this process may take multiple tries (going back to "Waiting for Next Backup" state each time) until the differencing locates the correct stream.

Viewing Deduplication Statistics and Reports
In Command View VLS, you can view statistics on the deduplication process by summary, backup
report, cartridge report, or system capacity.
Deduplication Summary
The
Deduplication Summary
displays a graph depicting the storage savings achieved with data
that has been fully deduplicated.
1.
Select the
System
tab.
2.
Select
Chassis
on the navigation tree to expand it.
3.
Select
Deduplication
.
The deduplication summary displays.
In the graph displayed, the
logical data
is the uncompressed physical size of all user data
that has fully deduplicated; the
used capacity
is the actual physical storage space consumed
by the original data after it has been both compressed (if enabled) and fully deduplicated.
Deduplication Backup Report
The backup report provides information on the deduplication of your backup jobs.
1.
Select
Backup Report
from the navigation tree or from the task bar of the
Deduplication
Summary
screen.
The backup report options display.
2.
Unselect any agents, backup types, or states you want to exclude from the report. By default,
all supported and enabled backup jobs are selected and display in the report.
3.
Select
View Backups
.
The screen displays a list of backup jobs meeting the set criteria and includes the following
information:
State — the state of the backup job (see below)
Backup Name
Policy
Backup Time
Type
Dedupe Ratio Estimate — the estimated deduplication ratio (based on the Logical Size
divided by Physical Size Estimate)
4.
From the results list, select a backup name to see the backup statistics for that particular job.
The backup information includes a graph depicting the original data size (shown as zero
prior to the deduplication), the deduplicated size, and the unprocessed data. In the
Cartridge
Details
, select a barcode to see its cartridge report.
The deduplication reports show the following states:
Waiting for Next Backup — the backup has nothing to difference against and is therefore
waiting for a new backup. Incr/diff backups difference against the new full backup, not the old
full backup.
Delta-diff in Process — the backup has identified another version of itself to difference against
and is now running differencing to identify the duplicate data between the two versions. With
multi-stream backups, this process may take multiple tries (going back to "Waiting for Next Backup"
state each time) until the differencing locates the correct stream.
