In 2010, a fork named Bareos was established, the project published
first packages in February 2013.[7] Bareos introduces many new
features and eases configuration.[8]

I've used neither.
This may be getting somewhat OT, but since Bareos was brought up:
Be aware that there is a lawsuit in progress[1] against Bareos in that
they are alleged to have committed industrial espionage against
Bacula Systems in that they've intentionally stolen proprietary source code,
removed copyright notices, and published it as their own. My recommendation
would be to stay away from Bareos. OTOH, Bacula is (speaking from experience)
a solid open source product and the community edition *does* do a
form of deduplication[2] (file level, not block level), although that's
one of the few features that I've not used.
For the record, Bacula Systems has a policy of migrating their enterprise
features into the community edition after a set length of time, and they
seem to follow that policy. Certainly the community edition has not suffered
since the enterprise edition was created.
The Bacula founder (Kern Sibbald) has also been involved in other open source
projects, including a former key developer and project manager for apcupsd.
I tend to believe his side of the story.
