Efficient Deduplication of Backup Data with Langmeier Backup For business users, deduplication of backup data is a crucial feature that significantly reduces the storage space required for backups. In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to implement deduplication for your backup data using Langmeier Backup. Adding Deduplication as a Server Feature
To enable deduplication, you must add it as a server feature—typically via the Server Manager or, alternatively, through PowerShell. Deduplication depends on the File and Storage Services role. If this role is already installed, please expand its tree structure, where you will find the Data Deduplication option.
Activating Deduplication for New Volumes
To set up a new volume, select File and Storage Services in the left navigation pane of the Server Manager, then navigate to Disks or Storage Pools. Here, you can create Volumes or Virtual Disks in the lower left window. The setup wizard provides a dedicated dialog for enabling and configuring deduplication.
Time-Controlled Storage Optimization

Scheduling deduplication is particularly beneficial if your server is heavily utilized during the day and the background process cannot access sufficient resources.
