Can I just turn dedup on by enabling dedup on an existing data set and pool? Any caveats? All existing data will get deduplicated and this will give better results than my existing level 9 zip support?
My data (for now) mostly consists of incremental Windows Image Backups from a local windows server (it stores the backup locally; I backup that folder, incrementally, to my FreeNAS…). I understand I cannot undo this action (unless re-creating the pool and the data it should contain). I also understand I risk having to add more RAM. And that I might lose performance (probably even!) (https://doc.freenas.org/11/storage.html#deduplication)
