file dedup (rather than block dedup) could mostly be handled at the catalog level with another level of indirection. I.e. instead of a catalog entry containing file metadata and where the file lives on media, it would contain file metadata and a foreign key to a table that maps hashes to where the file lives on the media. - Morty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
