Data deduplication is removing duplicate data from storage systems so that only one copy remains. Human operators can do this manually or automatically with software tools. The purpose of deduplication is to reduce the storage space required for backups and archives while keeping all files intact.
Data storage is a vital component in any business, so it is essential to ensure that all files are stored securely and efficiently. SMBs can benefit from using data deduplication to manage their digital content and keep storage costs down.
