In this article on Tech Target, author Lauren Whitehouse examines why source deduplication and other data backup technologies are worth checking out.

For example, 55% of IT organizations surveyed by ESG plan to replace existing file-level backup with snapshot and/or CDP solutions. That said, the integration of snapshot, replication, CDP and deduplication into existing backup platforms to augment file-level approaches seems to be a strong trend. That’s why several backup vendors have made recent strides to match capture techniques to recovery objective policies, simplifying implementations and optimizing the front end of backup processes.”
