How does W2K SIS Groveler work?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

SIS (Single Instance Store ) locates duplicate files that is larger
than 32 kb and replaces them with a link to a master copy of the file.

SIS uses two components: SIS NTFS file system filter driver and SIS
Groveler service
