If you're doing several dumps in a row, the 2nd and subsequent dumps can be sped up. Here's how:

After creation of such stack of images some data would get duplication in dumps. If you don't want to keep duplicates there's an ability to punch duplicate data from non-top images. There are two options for this.
+
See [[memory images deduplication]].
−
−
; Deduplication action
−
: The <code>crui dedup</code> command would open the image directory and punch holes in the ''parent'' images in needed places
−
; Automatic deduplication while dumping
+
== See also ==
−
: The <code>--auto-dedup</code> option would cause every write to images with process' pages to go an punch holes in respective parent images.
−
The latter option appies to both <code>dump</code> and <code>page-server</code> actions and thus is extremely useful in [[disk-less migration]] scenario.
