Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Deduplication
  • Compression

Answer

Efficiency processes such as deduplication and compression in ONTAP are executed on the new data added since the last efficiency job run. 
These processes scan and optimize the data written to the volume after the completion of the previous efficiency job.
