They are compressed if you leave the default setting enabled in your 
configuration, and all duplicate copies of the same file (whether found 
on the same target or not) are hardlinked to one pooled instance.  That 
means that backing up multiple instances of similar hosts or keeping a 
long history of backups will only use addition space for the differences 
  (plus a small amount for the directory structure).
