There was a thread on the list about AFTD on top of ZFS with dedup and the results were poor, probably because of misalignment of the save stream on the AFTD which makes ZFS miss duplicate blocks.

Hello NetWorker list. I am keen on your advice regarding deduplication devices for NetWorker backup environments. I am all into doing with DataDomain, both VTL and NFS ways. However, not to blindfold myself to much - are there any competitors, which could compare with DataDomain today?


I don't know the market for dedup devices although I have worked with DD
lately and rather like them.

If you want cheap dedup options, there is lessfs on Linux and dedup
within ZFS. No idea how well these work.
