For that, hardlink may be useful.
Well no, I don't think so. As I said and as you quoted "Any dupes in the original data are better fixed by running hardlink or similar on the original data, not the backup." The case of backup images from different servers is a case where only the backup system could save space though. So folks in such a position might want to add a post command for that.
