-ChunkRedundancyThreshold<UInt32>
Specifies the number of identical chunks of data that the deduplication engine encounters before the server creates a redundant copy of the data chunk. This increases the reliability of the server by adding redundancy to the most referenced chunks of data.
Deduplication detects corruptions and the deduplication scrubbing job restores the corrupted chunks from a redundant copy, if it is available. The default value is 100. The minimum value that you can set is 20. A low value for the ChunkRedundancyThreshold parameter reduces the effectiveness of data deduplication by creating more redundant copies of a chunk, and consumes more memory and disk space.

-MinimumFileAgeDays<UInt32>

-NoCompressionFileType<String[]>
Specifies an array of file types that the deduplication engine excludes from compression. These file types are deduplicated but not compressed, typically because the file format is already compressed. Specify comma-separated values that are not preceded with a period (.). When you change this setting, you override the existing values.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>
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.

-Verify<Boolean>
Indicates whether or not the deduplication engine performs a byte-for-byte verification for each duplicate chunk that optimization creates, rather than relying on a cryptographically strong hash. We do not recommend that you use this parameter. Setting this parameter to $True can degrade optimization performance.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
System.String[]
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#
The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanceobject is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance
The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanceobject is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Deduplication/MSFT_DedupVolume
Examples
Example 1: Set the exclude folders on a volume
This command sets the root folders under which all files are skipped during data deduplication. The ExcludeFolder parameter specifies that the data deduplication engine processes the files in all of the folders on volume F: except for files in the Temp folder and the SQL folder.
PS C:\> Set-DedupVolume –Volume F: -ExcludeFolder F:\temp,F:\SQL
Example 2: Set the minimum file age on a volume
This command sets the number of days since users have accessed a file before the deduplication engine optimizes the file. The MinimumFileAgeDays parameter specifies that the data deduplication engine processes the files in all of the folders on volume E: that were not accessed in the last 10 days.
PS C:\> Set-DedupVolume -Volume E: –MinimumFileAgeDays 10
Example 3: Set the chunk redundancy threshold on a volume
This command sets the number of identical chunks of data that the deduplication engine encounters during deduplication before the server creates a redundant copy of the data chunk. The MinimumFileAgeDays parameter specifies that the data deduplication engine processes the files in all of the folders on volume D: that were not accessed in the last 15 days. The ChunkRedundancyThreshold parameter specifies that if the data deduplication engine discovers 50 chunks of identical data, it makes one redundant copy as a safeguard.
PS C:\> Set-DedupVolume –Volume D: -MinimumFileAgeDays 15 –ChunkRedundancyThreshold 50
