Geek word of the day

Okay, it's more like a phrase, but here it is...

Data Deduplication: a process designed to make network backups to disk faster by eliminating large amounts of redundant data. Also called Data Reduction, Commonality Factoring, Capacity Optimized Storage.

Whadev... I just like that word... Deduplication. Ain't it cool?

I love the idea of eliminating redundancy. I know some people that I want to tell to go deduplicate themselves.
