Description

The Start-DedupJob starts a new data deduplication job for one or more volumes. The data deduplication job can queue if the server is running another job on the same volume or if the computer does not have sufficient resources to run the job. The server marks the queued jobs that you start with this cmdlet as manual jobs and gives the manual jobs priority over scheduled jobs. The server returns a DeduplicationJob object for each job that you start with this cmdlet.

For multi-volume data deduplication jobs, you can use the Preempt parameter to move a job to the top of the job queue and cancel the current job.

Examples

Example 1: Start an optimization job

Start-DedupJob -Volume "D:" -Type Optimization -Memory 50

This command starts a deduplication optimization job on drive D: and consume up to a maximum of 50 percent of RAM.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Cores

Specifies the maximum percentage of physical cores that a job uses.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:MaximumCoresPercentage
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Full

Indicates that garbage collection jobs free up all deleted or unreferenced data on the volume, if you specify the value GarbageCollection for the Type parameter. If you do not specify this parameter, garbage collection jobs free up space after a system threshold of delete data is exceeded. We recommend that you run garbage collection regularly without specifying this parameter, and then once a month specify this parameter and run garbage collection again.

If you specify the value Scrubbing for the Type parameter, this parameter indicates that scrubbing jobs validate the integrity of all data on the volume. If you do not specify this parameter, the scrubbing job validates only critical metadata and data integrity issues that data deduplication previously encountered. We recommend that you run scrubbing regularly without specifying this parameter, and then once a month specify this parameter and run scrubbing again.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputOutputThrottle

Specifies the amount of input/output throttling applied to the deduplication job. Throttling ensures that deduplication does not interfere with other I/O intensive processes. The acceptable values for this parameter are: integers from 0 to 100. If you specify this parameter and the InputOutputThrottleLevel parameter, InputOutputThrottle takes precedence.

Type:UInt32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputOutputThrottleLevel

Specifies the amount of I/O throttling that the job provides to ensure that the job does not interfere with other I/O intensive processes. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • None
  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

If you specify this parameter and the InputOutputThrottle parameter, InputOutputThrottle takes precedence.

Type:InputOutputThrottleLevel
Accepted values:None, Low, Medium, High, Maximum
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Memory

Specifies the maximum percentage of physical computer memory that the data deduplication job can use.

For optimization jobs, we recommend that you set a range from 15 to 50, and a higher memory consumption for jobs that you schedule to run when you specify the StopWhenSystemBusy parameter. For garbage collection and scrubbing jobs, which you typically schedule to run in off hours, you can set a higher memory consumption, such as 50.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:MaximumMemoryPercentage
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Preempt

Indicates that the deduplication engine moves the job to the top of the job queue and cancels the current job. After the server cancels the current job, the deduplication engine cannot run the preempting job if the server does not have enough memory to run the job.

This parameter applies to manual data deduplication jobs only and is ignored for scheduled jobs. You can preempt only deduplication jobs on multiple volumes.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Priority

Sets the CPU and I/O priority for the optimization job run that you run by using this cmdlet. For jobs that you run when you specify the StopWhenSystemBusy parameter, we recommend that you set this parameter to Low. For typical optimization jobs, we recommend that you set this parameter to Normal.

Type:Priority
Accepted values:Low, Normal, High
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ReadOnly

Indicates that the scrubbing job process and report on corruptions that it finds but does not run any repair actions.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-StopWhenSystemBusy

Indicates that the server stops the job when the system is busy and retries later. We recommend that you specify this parameter when you set a low priority for the job.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Timestamp

Specifies a date and time. This parameter applies only to unoptimization jobs. The deduplication engine unoptimizes only files that it optimized or reoptimized since the System.DateTime value that you specify.

Type:DateTime
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Type

Specifies the type of data deduplication job. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Optimization
  • GarbageCollection
  • Scrubbing
  • Unoptimization
Type:Type
Accepted values:Optimization, GarbageCollection, Scrubbing, Unoptimization
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Volume

Specifies an array of system volumes for which you want to manually queue data deduplication jobs. Enter one or more volume IDs, drive letters, or volume GUID paths. For drive letters, use the format D:. For volume GUID paths, use the format \\?\Volume{{GUID}}\. Separate multiple volumes with a comma.

Type:String[]
Aliases:Path, Name, DeviceId
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Wait

Indicates that the cmdlet waits for the job to complete and provides progress information to the client.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
