This is not a solution at all, because Bacula every time you create new backup 
will create new virtual tapes, and since rsync "deduplicate" only files, not 
entire amount of data that is going to be transfared, this do not solve 
anything for us. Acctually I am not even sure if we would use LVM on botom and 
rsync those snapshots of a LVM volumes, I guess rsync do not compare hashes of 
all blocks of transfered but only first block hash with a first block, second 
with a second,... So again, rsync would not be help even in this case.

One suggestion. Make the volumes smaller. 1 to 10GB should be fine.
Then use rsync (possibly run from a cron job) to send the volumes offsite.
