I've just taken a look at the Windows dedup API, and it is clear
that a
non-Microsoft aware backup program is not going to work. As with
everything else that Microsoft does, this API is at least 10 times
as
complicated as I could ever imagine. Unfortunately, given the
complexity
Bacula is unlikely to get code to implement handling deduplication
volumes for some time :-( One needs an army of programmers to do
this sort of implementation ...
Thanks for taking the time to check this.
As I said, it's all working for me now OK after I deduplicated one server, the backups are flowing nicely.
I'll keep an eye on the development for this; it might be good to post a note somewhere so other potential users with Windows 2012 are aware of this.
Cheers,
Bojan
