Could you check out my configuration?
I do not normally do that since it's consultancy and you will probably wont create more synapses. =)
Anyway it goes:
I've configured De-duplication on a Bacula 7.0.5.9 - CentOS 7 ( client-fd is version 5.2 - Windows 8.1 Pro x64 ) with the following properties:
A specific Pool for the base volumes:

Pool {
Name = BaseJobs
Pool Type = Backup
Label Format = "${Level}-${Job}-${Day}-${Month}-${Year}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}${Second:p/2/0/r}"
Use Volume _Once_ = yes
}

The specific FileSet for the base job:

FileSet {
Name = "BaseFileSet_Windows8.1"
Enable VSS = yes
Include {
Options {
You must have at the fileset options:
       BaseJob  = pmugcs5
       Accurate = mcs
       Verify   = pin5
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
}
File = C:/Windows/
}
}

The base job:

Job {
Name = "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
Type = Backup
Level = Base
Client = tom-helpdesk-fd
FileSet = BaseFileSet_Windows8.1
Pool = BaseJobs
Storage = ns-bacula-sd
Messages = Standard
}

The JobDefs for the full backup job:

JobDefs {
Name = "Windows_Backup"
Type = Backup
Level = Full
FileSet = "Windows FileSet"
Messages = Standard
SpoolAttributes = yes
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/%c.bsr"
Storage = ns-bacula-sd
}

The full backup job:

Job {
Name = "FrankPC-Backup"
JobDefs = "Windows_Backup"
You must have the directive here:
   Accurate = yes
Base = "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
To the magic happen you must compare the base job to the job itself, between commas:

Base ="FrankPC-Backup", "BaseJob_Windows8.1"
Client = tom-helpdesk-fd
Schedule = "FrankPC_Backup"
Pool = RegularBackups
}

The client

Client {
Name = tom-helpdesk-fd
Address = 10.13.37.103
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "~XXXXXXX" # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 60 days # 60 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files

}

Hello guys,

1. Bacula Enterprise Global deduplication but it's more automated and efficient than the Community dedup. In fact it works beyond file granularity, but in block level at the storage: http://www.baculasystems.com/wp-content/uploads/bacula-enterprise-v8-global-endpoint-deduplication2.pdf
2. If you made a base backup jobs using Bacula Community and set the original Backup job correctly to compare with the Base job, probably you will backup the C:/Windows again cause, of course, there are files under it that are always changing. But it's only expected to copy the files that changed in relation to the ones copied by the Base Job.

Deduplication is not an option???
I thought it was a plugin that was available for purchase....
