``Size on disk`` and ``Size``
Hi there
I have my customer saying ``Size on disk`` and ``size `` in windows folder properties are different for the data mount from Data Domain .
This is the number on customer site .
◆FOLDER in Windows local disk
- size : 1.19 GB
- size on disk: 1.20 GB
◆FOLDER backed up by DD
- size : 1.19 GB
- size on disk : 4.51 GB
Its showing size on disk is bigger than size
Also for individual file size
◆File in Windows local disk
Size : 7.55 KB
-file size on disk : 8.00 KB
◆File backed up by DD
- size : 7.55 KB
- File size on disk : 1.00 MB
I can understand that this could be OS issue if actual volume is on Windows local disk .. like this blog ..
