I think it's only available in V5.0.x. Even then, it's in it's infancy and, as far as I can tell, doesn't work like all other deduplication methods I have seen; where all files that have the same hash value are deduplicated. I believe this is not the case with Bacula's deduplication.
As far as I understand it, deduplication only occurs on files from the same client as the "Base Job". Then, if a file is altered in any way (file permission, moved to another folder etc) deduplication isn't effective and the file is backed up again. Also, the Bacula docs say that using base jobs currently makes restoration very difficult! Please, somebody correct me if I am wrong here. Dedup is something I am interested in if it works in the right way.
