Enabling Data Deduplication on a volume with cloud tiering enabled lets you cache more files on-premises without provisioning more storage. 
 
 When Data Deduplication is enabled on a volume with cloud tiering enabled, Dedup optimized files within the server endpoint location will be tiered similar to a normal file based on the cloud tiering policy settings. Once the Dedup optimized files have been tiered, the Data Deduplication garbage collection job will run automatically to reclaim disk space by removing unnecessary chunks that are no longer referenced by other files on the volume.

 - For ongoing Deduplication optimization jobs, cloud tiering with date policy will get delayed by the Data Deduplication [MinimumFileAgeDays](/powershell/module/deduplication/set-dedupvolume) setting, if the file isn't already tiered. 
     - Example: If the MinimumFileAgeDays setting is seven days and cloud tiering date policy is 30 days, the date policy will tier files after 37 days.
     - Note: Once a file is tiered by Azure File Sync, the Deduplication optimization job will skip the file.
