4. Configure the settings as explained in the following table:
Item Description
Name A unique name to identify the share. Do not include spaces in the name.
Description An optional description to help identify the share.
Compression Select the Compression check box to enable data compression. Compression saves
storage space and increases the speed of data transfers, but the compression and
decompression processes require additional resources. By default, the Compression
check box is cleared.
Dedupe Select the Dedupe check box to enable deduplication, which prevents storage of
redundant data on the share. Unique data is stored only once on the share, and other
instances of the identical data are removed and replaced by a pointer to the unique data.
This storage method saves storage space and increases the speed of data transfers. By
default, the Dedupe check box is cleared.
Protection Select the Continuous Protection check box to enable data protection through
snapshots and configure the frequency at which snapshots are made. By default, the
Continuous check box is selected. For more information about snapshots, see

Select the Smart Snapshot Management check box to enable automatic
snapshot pruning. When enabled, this feature deletes older hourly and
daily snapshots so that hourly snapshots are kept for 48 hours, weekly
snapshots are kept for 8 weeks, and monthly snapshots are kept
indefinitely.
The interval specifies how often a snapshot is made. Make a selection
from the drop-down list:
• Hourly. A snapshot is taken every hour on the hour.
• Daily. A snapshot is taken every day at midnight. This is the default
setting.
• Weekly. A snapshot is taken every week on Friday at midnight.
