Only snapshot/backup are taken into consideration. Any details about the scenario of encypt/compress/dedup? Such as, how to use this functionalities, what's the api should look like?

There are so many code I want to change, really need help and get feedback from other people. I'll send out the status of my current work and what I am trying to do in another thread. > > -- > > Regards, > Uma. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > CloudByte ElastiStor 1.0 is now available under Early Access > Program<http://www.cloudbyte.com/eap.aspx> > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
