Sam, an administrator, sends out an HR policy file to Vicky, Mohammad, Charle, and Reena. They save the HR policy file on their home directories under a shared folder of Windows Server 2019 with different file names. As a result, the same copies of the file are present multiple times with different names. Reena opens and saves the file after making minor changes. What will happen to the files when Sam enables the Data Deduplication Service on Windows Server 2019?
A) A copy of Reena's file is created with a new file name.
B) All the files get deleted when the Data Deduplication Service is enabled.
C) A new copy of Reena's file is created and associated with the same file name.
D) None of the files are deleted as they have different file names.

Question

When the Data Deduplication Service is enabled on Windows Server 2019, it will examine the files in the shared folder and identify any identical copies. It will then create a single instance of the file and associate it with all the different file names. Therefore, when Reena opens and saves the file after making minor changes, a new copy of her file will be created and associated with the same file name as before. The other copies of the file will be deleted, and only a single instance of the file will remain, with all the associated file names pointing to it.
