Match & Merge
Match and Merge in backup software refers to a feature that automatically identifies and combines duplicate or similar files during the backup process. The software scans the existing data and compares it with newly backed-up content to find matches. Once duplicates are detected, the system merges them, optimizing storage space and ensuring efficiency. This process helps reduce redundancy, making backups more streamlined and faster. By eliminating unnecessary duplicates, the Match and Merge feature not only saves disk space but also enhances the organization of stored data, providing a more efficient and cost-effective backup solution.
