View Amount of Space Saved by Data Reduction
The total amount of space saved by Data Reduction depends on the amount of data eligible for data reduction and the type of data being processed. Certain types of data will be reduced more effectively than others. The amount of volume data eligible for data reduction is determined by the size of the data frozen by snapshots, and the Data Reduction Input setting.
