someone should ask them to implement deduplication, because nowdays it is
impossible to do meaningful backups without.
I've survived without just fine until now, although it is a feature I
want. I'm migrating some things from rdiff-backup to borg at the moment,
and one of the most impressive results I've got so far is
filesystem size: 228G
compressed size: 219G
deduplicated size: 59G
I'm sure the rest of my filesystems will not de-duplicate quite so much.
If I was to try and convert my rdiff-backup increments over to borg, I'd
probably see some savings (moving large sets of files around results in
enormous increments in rdiff-backup) but I don't think I can be bothered
to do that.
