Backups/deduplication

I searched the NT archives and I don't think this has been discussed since 2011. I'm in the market for a deduplication backup device to replace my old LTO tape library. I'm curious what everyone is using for a backup/dedupe appliance, who likes what, and if there's anything to avoid or be aware
