How could I give it a try ? I've seen a discussion about whether deduplication should be made offline or online ; my usage case it to backup a number of laptops having all about the same software and many files in common, to a single backup server using rsync, I would be very much interested in online deduplication - because I don't have "n" times the storage space, that offline dedup might temporarily need, and because performance isn't crucial for this application, as backups can be done overnight... Thanks in advance :-)
