Hi all

We're planning a Bacula setup soon with disk as the backup medium. The disk 
space will be hosted by OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana on ZFS. Since ZFS supports 
block-level deduplicaiton, at least theoretically (there are a few bugs aorund, 
but they are rumored to be fixed - I'll do some testing before jumping into 
it). I have heard some backup software (for instance BackupExec) makes backups 
hard to dedup because it doesn't care about how data is stored. Other backup 
software try to align data so that they are more easily deduplicated.

Now, does Bacula care about possible deduplication on the media side when 
storing the data?

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er 
et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av 
idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og 
relevante synonymer på norsk.
