Deduplication technology in VDR 4.0

Hi Fellers,

I have installed the ESX 4.0 on a dell server and vCenter Server/Vsphere Client/Vmware Data Recovery(VDR) on another.

My intention is to take backup of VMs on the server (vmdk files) which has 40 GB of file system data and find out how much deduplication of the data it provides.

I am able to successfully backup the VMs and do a disaster recovery. The Administration guide does mention that before the snapshots are actually stored onto the disk it converts them into some block size and does dedup but dedup percent should be visible somewhere in the UI.

Help !!!
