I have a list of all of the vendors at backupcentral.com:

I also have a series of blog posts about dedupe to help you understand
the different methods, etc. It starts with this one, and there is a link
at the end of each blog post pointing you to the next entry in the
series:

My free advice is that the different implementations will work better in
different environments with different people's data and how they back it
up.  Don't believe what any of the vendors say about their (or their
competitors') capabilities.  Test it yourself -- WITH YOUR DATA.  And
since you can't test everybody, get an objective third party that
understands the market to help you narrow down the list.

Obviously, we'd love to be that third party.  If not, my advice still
holds true. Don't try to navigate this mine field without professional
help.

I remember seeing comments about the advantages/disadvantages of a few
vendors' implementation of data deduplication but I can't find it :(

I'd appreciate comments from sites that have evaluated this.

Thanks,
