How to Get Duped by Deduplication: Ignore the Impact of Encryption
Encryption is the process of transforming data to make it unreadable to anyone except those who possess a key that will decrypt that data.

Ignoring the impact of encryption is a wonderful shortcut to receiving an unpleasant surprise regarding the impact of deduplication.
