Bacula doesn't support that directly, but you have several ways to do 
that. For example, you can let the system handle these files as it 
should, using Symlinks or Hardlinks. But they are no longer different, 
and if a user wants to modify his version, both will be impacted. (Note 
that it's not really a problem for many file type such as ISO, EXE, etc...)

As Bacula can compute checksums on all files, you can generate a list 
very quickly without impacting your server, but just using the Catalog.

Bye
