Hello,

Actually, the Bacula Enterprise version has two different types of
deduplication.

1. Aligned Volumes -- special patented volume format that optimizes
deduplication that is done by the underlying deduplicating FS (e.g. ZFS,
Btrfs, ...).

2. Global End Point Deduplication -- build-in Bacula deduplication in
the SD as well as in the FD (configurable).

It is possible that the Aligned Volume plugin binary will be available
to the community later this year for free.

Best regards,
Kern
