'Single Instance' for compressed file
Hi, I'm testing 'Single Instance' these days, I saved two files(a doc, a compressed file) twice, and I found only the doc is Single Instance, the compressed file is not. both of files are greater than 500K, and the compressed file is RAR, other than ZIP. what's the problem?

Centera is totally unaware of what document type your content consists of. So a RAR is no different from a ZIP or a DOC - they are all just bit streams.
So if the file is not being single instanced then it must be different or fall under the criteria I explained in your previous post on the same subject.

You really don't need to "test" Single Instance Storage - this is a fundamental piece of the Centera value and has been successfuly used by customers for the past five years. All the cases where you say it is not working can be explained by coding errors or the cluster settings.
