This example includes the steps involved if you want to compress and deduplicate the data already on disk, in addition to the new writes to disk.

Enable Deduplication and Compression: (Prerequisite to enable compression is that Deduplication should be enabled before enabling compression ) Run Postprocess Compression: Compression will continue to run as scheduled, compressing data blocks and providing space savings.
