Hi,
How about Clonezilla + Ceph cluster + btrfs?
Clonezilla - should be able to backup the whole hard disk as image
Ceph cluster - block based distributed storage, with object, file and block
based access for client.
btrfs - to use the deduplication feature to save space.
For ceph, you can start with 2 node first, to get redundancy, then slowly
add new node to increase the storage size and improving redundancy
Thanks.
