File deduplication policy settings

Contributed by:

Identical files can exist among various user profiles in the user store. Having duplicate instances of files stored in the user store increases your storage cost.

File deduplication policies let Profile Management remove duplicate files from the user store and store one instance of them in a central location (called shared store). Doing so avoids file duplications in the user store, thus saving your storage cost.

Files to include in the shared store for deduplication

Lets you enable file deduplication and specify files to include in the shared store for deduplication.

Files to exclude from the shared store

Lets you specify files to exclue from the shared store. Use this policy along with the Files to include in the shared store for deduplication policy.

Minimum size of files to deduplicate from profile containers

Lets you specify the minimum size of files to deduplicate from profile containers. The size must be 256 MB or greater.

Configuration precedence:

If this setting is not configured here, the value from the .ini file is used.
If this setting is not configured either here or in the .ini file, the value is 256.
