Hello,

Currently the software does not work when the file deduplication feature is enabled on windows server.

Could you do something about this problem?

Cordially.

Could you tell me which exact version of Windows Server you're using (version + edition) and point me to documentation how to turn on this particular feature. I think I have a guess how it can be done, but I don't know how hard it will actually be.

Hello,

these are windows server 2012 R2 (version 6.3) and windows server 2016 (version 1607).

Here is the microsoft documentation concerning this function : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/install-enable

An example, I have a folder that is 1.57GB, with this feature enabled this folder takes only 7.93MB on the disk size.

thanks in advance
