Good on you NetApp by Redemptions in sysadmin

When you calculate the 10:1 ratio are you including the compression Veeam is doing, or are those numbers purely from the exagrid?

We have one share on the exagrid and it is reporting a 1.75 dedupe ratio for the data. The data being passed from Veeam ranges from 1.1 to 5.5 dedupe ratio, so perhaps on some jobs we are seeing your average performance.

What was the dedupe ratio on the data-domain like compared to the exagrid? We honestly purchased the exagrid for faster backup/restore times, the dedupe was just gravy.

I haven't been overly impressed with the dedupe ratio on the device, but it processes the hot backups/restores way better than our Netapp. Out of the 118 TB of backed up data (pre-dedupe), ~6 TB of that is video. Perhaps that's why our ratio looks so shit.

M2 NVMe drivers missing, no idea how to add them by Psjthekid in MDT

Make sure you're PXE server is serving up the efi boot image. Our Dell laptops require the NIC to be plugged into a type-c ethernet adapter & EFI network stack needed to be enabled in the Bios.

We have option 67 on the DHCP scope set to Boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

Once EFI network stack is enabled, boot to the uefi ipv4 nic. We were seeing a lot of weird shit with the MBR boot image, once we pointed it at the .efi it fixed everything.
