Restricting fingerprinting to blocks would make block level compares possible, but as I noted on an earlier reply it would *always* require that the blocks be transferred to perform the calculation. It is a lot harder to double Network bandwidth than to double storage. Deduplication that only saves disk space is leaving the larger problem of network bottlenecks unaddressed.
