However, for my thoughts of Dedupe it could be interesting for those
who need to decrease the number of tape cartridges, but they could
suffer signifigannt CPU and I/O spec. for dedupe processing, and one
issue i was thinking about is a fauiler or if one part is corrupted,
i.e. many files would be affected by loss of common chunk, and what
about encryption is it compatible with encryption.
Thanks
