The server has a single share on the E drive. When viewed using the Properties window on the server the data stored is 7TB. However, when I use a backup utility to copy this data over to a Qnap it balloons to 13.5TB. Data deduplication is not installed.</P><P></P><P>Is the 7TB figure the real space required to store this data without any of the Nimble compression?</P><P></P><P>Could a difference in block size cause this increase in data storage requirements?</P><P></P><P>Thanks</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jan 2016 13:01:05 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/array-performance-and-data/space-usage-reporting-in-server-2012/m-p/6981756#M45 gregmills119 2016-01-20T13:01:05Z Re: Space usage reporting in Server 2012 https://community.hpe.com/t5/array-performance-and-data/space-usage-reporting-in-server-2012/m-p/6981757#M46 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>DO you have shadow copy services on?
